~:[CH13 - Day 307]:~ The Whole Picture

I posted a picture of this dog during Halloween. I only posted the second photo, from which you might deduce that the dog is a bit psychotic. It was quite fitting with the costume. However, the dog is pretty happy-go-lucky as you can tell from the other photos and the psychotic look was only a yawn. Our currently society often makes judgement of people from a snapshot of a strip of frames of someone's life. A momentary action can sometimes be the way that someone sees you. I agree that you should do your best to behave with decency at all times, but should be really be "ruined" when we lash out once during the many interactions we have during a day, week, month or even year? As I thought about our society, I reflected on how I act and how I look at life. I do my best to give people the benefit of the doubt, but at the same time, repeated or intentional actions lead to losing that privilege. People make mistakes and if that moment was truly only a snapshot of how they are daily, I am bound to forgive them. I hope that we can all look at things objectively. Figure out if our initial response or judgement was correct by giving people the benefit of the doubt. Sure enough, some people will prove that is who they are, while I believe many others will show that they truly are different from what you originally perceived. We all have bad days and moments and I hope that allows us to see that others do as well. Let's see the whole picture in hopes that we can spend less time being angry and frustrated and more time enjoying life.
