PERCEPTIONS, OPINIONS AND JUDGEMENTS


I like to think of myself as realistic, different, sensitive, matter-of-factly, open, communicative and sweet. But this might be in contrast to what some people or a lot of people think about who I am. I could be perceived as overly-sensitive, too emotional, sad / depressed, nonconforming, disruptive or controversial by people who may or may not know me well. But I'm just one human being, one out of over 8 billion people in the world. This is something I've had to deal with and learn how to use to my best advantage. 


Our perception of people, things, subjects and ideas may or may not always be correct due to bias, point of view, exposure and experience. It is very normal for people to have divergent opinions on things, subjects and people. But it is equally important to be objective, humane, understanding and open to new ideas, ideologies and standpoints that may arise from our observations, confrontations or conversations with people of different standpoints.


While most of us are so quick to always point a finger, come up with a thought, form an opinion and behavioral pattern towards someone or something, it is important to consider the other side of arguments and opinions. We are always going to be humans with diverse opinions because we have the freewill to broaden our horizon, learn, unlearn and relearn which is a key element of being human. In our diversities and with our differences, we could still give a room for a common ground where everyone's opinion, perception, experience and notion is given a careful and close observation and consideration before coming up with a thought.


Nobody gets it right all the time, but as long as we are ready and open to learning and understanding what makes up the nucleus of the opinions and standpoints of others, we would definitely have less interrelationship problems with ourselves. We all need to be less judgemental, opinionated, conclusive and quick to pass a comment. Rather, we should try to look carefully at and not just see other people, subjects and opinions as this or that. Cheers to unlearning, learning and relearning.


I'm AbdulQudus, peace ✌🏾.

    There is this “popular” quote about our opinions as being a reflection of ourselves rather than others. I’m not good at holding sides; I just want to live life.

    Fine piece. Keep up the good work.

Playboys and Lust - Abolarinwa Tayelolu  So i wont blame the play boys,they were once in love and with their heartfelt newest desires,their love, care and everything they wished to offer were splittered with thoughtless swords...i wonder what they had gone through,faking every moves,every motives of theirs, just to ensure that they upbeat how much they have suffered in regret after losing the real person that they loved..some of them chose the railing games,some of them go dirty just to impress and flow away their pains whilst some of them remained ever the same sensing the little regrets that they could not saunter, it was never their fault that they never right their wrongs,so they never bothered to love again...love is significantly correlative to pain..most times the loyalists suffer and will never explain why it failed... As a result of their first heartbreak,the tendency and push which they had for love are permanently suspended for many more years to come. I have to be caref...

TRUST: QIDAKINGIN’S POINT OF VIEW

-
Going by the Dictionary meaning of the word ‘Trust’, according to Wikitionary.org , Trust is defined as ‘’confidence in or reliance on some person or quality.’’ With this simple meaning of Trust, we can see that having trust in someone really means a lot. Firstly, because the trustee has both confidence and reliance on the trusted . Secondly, this should be also respected because it takes good respect along with honour and dignity for someone to have trust in another person. Once the trust has been betrayed, I tell you, for the average man, that is the end of it all. One cannot gain that credibility again due to the fact that no matter the amount of pleading from the person who has lost his or her credibility, he or she already has a dual-personality to that individual whose trust has been betrayed. He or she might find it hard to stand up for that person again or even believe the utterances of that individual. Trust doesn’t necessarily mean just the monetary aspect only bu...
