I have seen many people's judging the character's of others by just staring them with out talking a single word to him/her and labeling them as freaks or something like that. But, most of the people are wrong and some may be right about it. However can people judge other people's character by just staring at them?

Well, yes and no. I think that if you see a mute video of a woman hitting her child over the head with a cane and knocking the poor girl unconscious, and the lady has nothing but anger in her eyes, you can probably say she is either really cruel, or she is under the influence of something, or she is delusional from some mental disease that is not her fault. Well.. it certainly helps to know the whole story, doesn't it? I think a lot of people judge others by how they dress, which can be kind of okay, because if you see someone with neon green hair and flashy clothes, you can assume they are wild and like attention, which isn't completely negative. It really depends on the situation, and if the judgments are entirely negative.

Ya but that happens in a rare case. Even though judging the people with out knowing about them leads to false judgment in many cases. In your example itself there are so many possibilities that u have described but there will be only one reason behind it the probability is too slim to get the correct judgment....... Am i right?

oh i think so. especially since other people do it. but you can become a better thinker and try to see the good side in people. i would like to say that i don't judge people. and i would like to say that because i have experienced the bad down side of being judged. and because of this, i don't believe i would like to judge people horribly. some would say that you should. that you should because it's right. but i don't know.
