I get to know people one on one. I don’t base my opinion of someone
according to the perception of another. It never ceases to amaze me how one
person’s definition of another as good or bad is taken as gospel by others.
Goodness, wait until you have met the person in question before you accept
what is probably a biased opinion.
We are supposed to be mature adults with our own minds. Yet, when a friend
tells us that “so and so” is a liar, nosy or isn’t very bright. We just accept
without question that this is how “so and so” is. In the opposite if we are told
that “so and so” is trustworthy, helpful and extremely intelligent; this, too,
becomes our perception of the individual.
I have many friends whose opinions I value, but I am also aware of certain
prejudices or dislikes they have for certain characteristics in others. These are
the things that will color the information which they will pass on to me. I’ve
learned in order to determine the character of another that I, and I alone, must
come to my own conclusions. Sure I can use a friend’s opinion as a bit of a
guide but not as the whole tour. My truth; I use my own mind.
