The Complexity that is You

Many years ago as a student nurse I came across a beautiful old poem about a 'Crabbit Old Woman' otherwise known as Kate's poem... It made me think both then and now that we as humans automatically make judgements about people when we meet them... we often make a rash decision based upon what we see and don't always take into account the complexities or humanity of the person before us. We judge people by their appearance, colour, gender, age, to name but a few... Although this is a natural thing to do, it can also be very shallow.

As humans, we all have a life story and different experiences which makes up the rich tapestry of our lives. We come from different backgrounds have been to different schools, worked at different jobs, been in love or not. We have encountered different trials and tribulations and from our collective experience throughout our life it makes us into the person that we are.

So what is this post all about??? I suppose for me personally, it's not to judge a book by it's cover and to appreciate the richness that each and everyone of us has to offer :-)

Enjoy the poem - it has always been one of my favourites :-) x
