stereotyping

Subhan'Allah! Earlier i had written like a whole paragraph about my thoughts and views about stereotyping.
and i started amending the font and the size. While I was at it, the emotions started to take a "twirl" (to be frank, i was getting emotionally "involved" while typing earlier on). AND AND guess what, the whole paragraph miracously just disappeared (ok, maybe i was careless and clicked the wrong button). Nevertheless, it just dawned on me that maybe that was good anyways as I was taking my thoughts too personally.
I juz wanna voice out my thoughts and views but not get too emotionally and/or sensitive abt the whole issue.
So here's to a fresher, better mood/ entry. Bismillahnirrahman nirrahim (Atas nama Allah yg pengasih dan penyanyang).

========End of Introduction=============

Stereotyping. How often do we stereotype and we being stereotyped. Maybe we stereotype ourselves as well.
Matter of fact, we do know that its not supposed to be that way. Human Nature. sometimes we slip. we forgot that we are not supposed to.


Someone who holds a managerial post. he/she is not supposed to make any mistakes or fumble on his/her daily work.
One who dons on the hijab or who attends the weekly religious class, is supposed to practice what he/she have learnt constantly. and if they found to do the exact opposite....hmmmmm....
One who attends classes or reads a book on self improvement/ help, should be able to withstand any hurdles that comes by. supposedly to have the tools, so just use it (ouh well, dats the thought).

(hhmmm, ok now i do wonder if the title stereotyping is suitable for the entry. ok, nvm i shall continue with the story)

It really bothers me by the fact that we have alot of "we shoulds". Have it been implanted to us even before we were born? Human Nature, really? or is it something that was cultivated in us since young, and we kept "watering the plantation" that now its becoming a dense forest with the "we shoulds" trees.

We should (oops! we should again..heee!), ok what i meant to say is, we should try to change our mindset. if we fail to change our mindset, its ok, try again.
its just like the "someones" i refer to the above examples, Im pretty sure that they are trying their best to adjust or be the best that they can. We are humans afterall. Give them space. Give ourselves space.

Stereotyping. Since its like a second nature to (some of ) us, we can begin by stereotyping all as "Humans. Who are bound to make mistakes." =)
