Being Not Nice

He was old, so I ignored him. She looked mean, so I ignored her. They looked scary, so I pretended they were invisible. Not as nice as I thought I was.

That's the way it often goes; no matter how much one hears that the package may have good things inside; people tend to prejudge. Oh well, insightful piece.

I am as guilty as anyone, and when it happens I am horrified at my madness.

I love that last line... most people would think something along the lines of the "other" people not being nice enough. Love the way you did this!! ;)
