Thoughts I've had- The one about PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS

 When it comes to other peoples stories... Is it bad that I want to understand ??? ... Maybe it is... Im giving myself a headache thinking about the  intricacies of ideas, thoughts, and reasons why people make the choices that they do, say the things they do, act the way they do... can you try to empathize with someone you might not otherwise empathize with? Is it easier to empathize with the down and out of luck man/woman then the well dressed business man/woman? what about a prostitute you see walking down the streets of LA compared to the high end call girl in Beverly Hills? Does it depend on the story.... but then again are you even willing to hear their story.... perhaps your only inclined to listen to one. WHat if I told you the LA gal is only on the street to get her next fix and the gal in Beverly Hills is paying for school... is one more deserving of help then the other? Why?
I guess it's just a fact of life ...or a fact of people ...that we have preconceived notions of certain people. We cant help it, if we are labeled as such. . . Or can we? ..Help it , I mean. Maybe it takes a little effort... a lot of effort for most.
I definitely think faster then I type I wish i had one of those microphones that type for you...

"15 year old girl holds hands with her 1 year old son. People call her a slut, no one knows she was raped at 13. People call another Guy fat. No one knows he has a serious disease causing him to be overweight . People call an old man ugly. No one knew he had a serious injury to his face while fighting for your country in the war. Repost this if you are against bullying and stereotyping. "- stole this from a FB friend.
