Lately I have been thinking about stereotypes and how foolish they can be, but everyone does it, even though we think it's a little wrong. It's not all wrong because women do make great sandwiches, and fold the laundry pretty good, and they're good at cleaning up.... but that's completely besides the point. The point is that we
all stereotype and we should probably lay off of it. Mostly, when you see someone you have an pre-meeting expectation of what that person's personality should be like. We should be more open, and without assumptions, that way we won't get disappointed with our incorrect thoughts. Just go through life one step at a time and live in the now instead of what's going to happen next, day by day, spontaneous reactions occurring one after another, nothing is predestined and every depends on how you decide how to live, so don't stereotype or assume what is going to happen next, because you will either be very disappointed with the results, or very surprised to see what has actually happened.
