Assumptions are harmful
We meet many people in our life. Some we admire & some admire us.
I go to buy milk every morning and meet a poor lady who sometimes even come barefoot. But she always shares customary greetings with me and tells me she likes me as i come all the way walking and not on the vechile.
She used to give me hibiscus flowers as she has seen me plucking them somewhere.
One day I went to buy milk on my vechile.That day she asked me for a lift but I refused as I was in a mad rush had to reach station plus my vechile run out of fuel. So I politely said 'No' to her and went away.
I wanna help her but i hav to reach station. Sometimes it happens we want to help but we could not.
Few days back when I returned I was dead sure she will not talk to me. But ,On the contrary she asked me how my trip was , with a smile on her face.I was quite overwhelmed by her polite gesture.
And suddenly to my utmost surprise, she gave me a handful of hibiscus flowers. So, my perception about her was inaccurate.
I learnt,
Never to make perceptions about anyone.
