Article of the Day 3/28/17

This TED talk is really easy for me to relate to. Like most, if not all people, I judge others. It is something of the mind. You only see the person as what you know. You judge them before you know who they really are. As a child, my mom did a good job to teach us that we only know a portion of everyone's lives. Now if I am cut off while driving I am rather calm. I realize that they may be in a rush or their wife may be giving birth. It is no excuse for them to have treated me the way they did because I have my own life and problems too. But it makes it so that I am not being rude in return for their rash actions. My roommates have not been as good as they could have been to me this year. I was bullied in my own home for a long time. One roommate, that has apologized for bullying me and has in return been bullied too, asked me how in the world I could deal with being bullied the whole year. I told her that I have just come to the understanding that these girls have been raised differently than me. It is all of our first times living on our own and I understand that they are use to different things. One friend wants me to punch one of the girls. I told her that this is not a fight that I want to fight. I have not done anything wrong and I could be more patient with them.
