Stereotyping

How many of us do that unconsciously when we see somebody. We categorize people and place them into society marked boxes. But maybe between all that categorizing, there are grey areas, where people aren’t really this or that. Maybe they are both, a bit of this and that. Is it even fair doing that, labelling and stereotyping them? How many of them do we actually know enough to do that correctly? People can surprise you when you least expect them to. So maybe the next time around, when we open our little chest with all those boxes, we would think about the fact that somebody else just might be shutting us in one of their own little boxes…
