Ever accuse once wrongly before?

Ever being accused wrongly before?

How was the feeling like? Fustrated? Embarrassed? Furious? Livid? Irritated?

Sometimes, in life, "rules", "thinkings" are set for us without us realising. Most of the time, we tend to accept the "rules" and "thinkings" unconciously. This tends to limit us from going for the exceptions, going for the right truth. However, there are people who are exceptions. I truly admire people who go out of their "normal" circle, pursue exceptions and look for real truth.

Let's take a simple incident that happened to me. I remember quite some time back. Someone told me this, "Hey! You actually fall in love with someone!" My friend wasn't joking with what she said. She meant it.

Well, I was well known for being a busy student. I was somehow known as a more "hard-hearted" person. I had a more boyish character and as most people know, I have 2 CCAs, I am a student councillor and I am also a sportsleader. At times, I had some rare opportunities to experience different environment and interact with people from different background. More often than not, I was thought as a student who is busier than a teacher. Where on Earth would I have time for things that are out of my academic school life? But, well, in actual fact, the story was different.

This was just a simple example where there wasn't much consequence seen.

In some situations, when we failed to go for exceptions. There are some heavy consequences that we may have to be responsible of.

Let's take examples of certain discimination comments. For example, XXX(a group of people) are bad people. (It isn't convenient for me to have a precise example) Well, is it true that everyone in that group are bad people? I truly believe that it is not true. Who knows, a few people are forced to join that group under certain circumstances that we failed to understand. Yet, these people are treated badly like how the rest were treated.

Another good example which often appear in dramas would be police catching the wrong thief. One has committed a crime before. When something went wrong and happened that he was around, he would be caught and the name of thief was put over him even though he wasn't the thief already. In real life, we are "police" at times, aren't we? Sometimes, didn't we tend to put on stereotype thinkings over people? Sometimes, didn't we do what the police did in the dramas?

In life, "rules" set for us have already given us a general picture of how everything works. Typical thinkings have resticted us from pursuing the "actual truth".

Sometimes, we may just be too afraid to pursue for the exceptions. Sometimes, we may just be covered with stereotype thinkings that we failed to allow our thinking waves to be active in our brain.

I understand that it can be quite difficult to go for the different. Even I, myself at times jumped to conclusions to certain matters due to certain "rules" and certain "thinkings" and failed to know the truth that should be truth. At times, I have to pay for my wrong judgement. But, I think we should try to go for the different, go for the exceptions, go for the "actual" truth. I think a good way to go for the different, exceptions and real truth would be to clarify things.

People around me are aware that I hardly believe in what I heard. I only believe with what my heart and eyes see. Well, there are people who are irritated with what I always do to clarify certain matters. However, I hope you guys will understand.

I think another good way would be understand every detail of the situation. I think this would help to minimize wrong judgement.

However, afterall, we are humans. We will make mistakes.
