curiosity killed the cat, BUT satisfaction brought it back! seeing when I was wrong in my estimation of a human, has almost always resulted in a better experience than the one I imagined. And it is often a delight to watch people open up and bloom when I don’t impose presuppositions on who they ought to be!
"Our preconceived notions of who someone is truly limits our perception of who they are. These preconceived ideas also trap us into routine, and uninteresting loops of conversation and behavior with the people in our lives." The truth of this hurts my heart...such a travesty. I always hated being put in a box and can see how tempting and easy it is to do to others. Thanks for this reminder to keep on the hard, but rewarding pathway of curiosity.
