I could be wrong
I’ve always been a snap judgment type of person and usually that initial first impression has been correct. According to science within the first few seconds of meeting a person we make some sort of judgement about them. Most of the judgements will concern our values, the ones we were brought up to believe in. I was born just after the Second World War and hardly anyone in those days sported tattoos for instance. I was told by my parents that only Gypsies and Sailors had tattoos and were not to be trusted. How ironic that a few of my children and grandchildren are proud of their “ink”. I still don’t like tattoos though, but have learned that having them doesn’t make people bad or untrustworthy. I like to feel I’m less judgemental as I get older.
Growing up in class conscious England made me the person I am today. We all knew which rung on life’s ladder we belonged. Everyone seemed to accept our position. It’s a ridiculous notion I agree.
