Only the judge has the right to judge...

Each one of us might have often come across the quote" Do not judge a book by it's cover."We proudly own the habit of reading and forgetting these quotes soon after  without caring enough to ponder over them.Life goes on and one fine day, we happen to see a peer at our workplace or our new classmate keeping away from the "herd".Out of sheer habit,we start "branding" them as arrogant,ego-centric,black sheep and what not.We may not intend to bring any harm to that particular person,but our words possess the power to spread like wildfire ultimately tarnishing the image of that person! One of my professors told me once that their was a student who never mingled with anyone in his class and preferred to live in a world of his own creation.His classmates used to mock at him and desert him. My professor went and sat with that guy,softly enquiring about his whereabouts.He was shocked to learn that the boy had lost both of his parents to an accident some time ago.He advised me to never  form stereotypes of people because it may have the potential to bring tears in our eyes once we learn the truth.Guyz ,it is easy to fall into wrong conclusions about people whom we barely know!!! None of us would care to give a second thought as to get to know about them or at least approach them. We live in a world of stereotypes, prejudices,biases and slandery. Surprisingly, we happen to be comfortable to think about others in ways that pleases us rather than analysing who they actually are. People around us whether they are our classmates,co-workers, subordinates,superiors,etc  hail from different family backgrounds, cultures,and may also carry different stories of their past with them.They may find it difficult to adjust with new people and it may also take time for them to adjust with their new surroundings. It may be as a result of  numerous reasons-
(A) They were extremely comfortable with their old lives and old mates finding it difficult to cope with the changes.
(B) Their past was such that they lost interest and trust in people.
(C)They may have faced enough challenges in life.
(D)Their past happen to be a stark contrast of their present.
(E)They may be introverts.
Whatever might  be the reason, we never know what each person might have gone through in his/her life. Their stories maybe far beyond our wildest of imaginations and those stories may even have the power to outrun those TV dramas. Hence, it is better to keep away from inventing stories,rumors or gossips than to be sorry later on. Never compare these people with others and downgrade them. The least that we can do is to sit with them and get to know about them.If u happen to hear any strange story, speak to that person straightforwardly rather than contributing your share to the "fire". Never harm people by your words or actions. We need to learn to respect our fellow beings and keep ourselves away from invading their rights.I sincerely hope this post helps in providing food for thought and also helps in transforming us to better human beings. The motive behind writing this post is to help all my friends(not mentioning any particular name for the sake of privacy) who are suffering oppression from their fellowmates for being "unique in the lot". Let us realise our mistakes once and for all and vow never to repeat them.Infact, Almighty has forbidden us from forming stereotypes and spreading slandery about others.We must act wisely to protect ourselves from our Lord's wrath!!
