There is more to a person.

There is more to a person.

We perceive only one angle; what we don’t see encompasses many more. We cannot define an object based solely on our single perspective. Consider human beings: Our interactions with them are influenced by various reasons, leading us to make judgments about their character. It takes time to understand an object fully, but understanding a person may take a lifetime.

Instead of trying to understand and define someone, let’s accept them for who they are and relate to them based on mutual needs. The irony is that we often reach conclusions about a person too quickly. Sometimes we may label them as genuine, only to later feel disappointed and regretful. At other times, we might perceive them as negative, only to later discover their goodness, which can lead to guilt over our initial judgment.

Rather than falling into this pattern, let’s focus on relating to, accepting, and setting boundaries with others as we move forward.

Character does not remain static; it can change over time. It’s better to adapt and grow with these changes rather than cling to judgments about the people in our lives.

While listening, we may be trying to engage our logical brain to recall our memories and creativity for a response, or we may be accessing our emotional brain to defend ourselves against what is being said. For example, if one person talks about ways another could improve, the listener might offer excuses such as a lack of time, resources, or support. Alternatively, they may bring up personal emotions, like health or family issues. These reactions often occur while the other person is still speaking, leading to a decreased understanding and an increased eagerness to defend one’s position. During this type of conversation, the listener may appear restless, exhibiting a lack of eye contact or head nodding. In such interactions, th...
