Stereotypes (preview to next blog)

do we believe in stereotypes?
i dont know..do i?..hmmm i think yes..
all my life i was taught that we shouldnt judge a book by its cover.
but i do..thats what we all do..i take a look at a person and then try to fit him into some stereotype that i already carry around in my head...y do i do this?
well i think its because i want to make sense of this person in front of me.
i use all my experiences from my infinite wisdom and people i've met in my infinite past to come up with a shape that i think will fit him.
i c the present and i have this innate urge to know how it all went in the future...and thats where this stereotyping comes in handy. i know what happened to that other dude so hey this is pretty much the same deal , give or take a little bit of deviation..

the funny part is that more times than not ill b right..cause in all probability im not the first person whose done this to him, this changing of the imcomprehensible real to the bordering-on-fiction image. every person who he has ever met has done this, starting from when he was born , im guessin startin with his parents.
so anyways somewhere down the line there is a point where all these works of fictions meet. at that point does he become the fiction and the story becomes real..

so am i wrong in stereotyping?
maybe because i just made him conform to my work of fiction. i just took away ,maybe, his last shot at individuality. and now probably he'll never know who he really could have been.

but am i really wrong in stereotyping?
i just made sense of a fellow human being..that could be my way of figuring out a way of how to deal with him best. after all u dont go around saying "wassp ma brother" to some 40 year old primp proper dude standin on the street....hell it could even be my defense mechanism..
it could be n number of things..

since everybody does it and it seems to work fine i say screw it , lets do it...
