Who is behind this pretty face?


Every time we meet a person we have never met before, we start reading this individual. The way we read him or her is like a puzzle. We get a lot of pieces that should be in a right spot and thus making all together a good looking picture. With every statement, movement and gesture the other person makes we build our own dictionary that helps to interpret this person. We get information, start analyzing it and make conclusion if statement is proven or not, legitimate or not. There is a chance that our first judgment may be incorrect, because first impression is often deceptive. It is also proven by saying that a fair face may hide a foul soul. Within a time we accumulate enough information to build our own approach how to perceive our interlocutor. However, within some time we can adjust our approach, but in most cases we will be using the same approach for the rest of our life. Significant impact on one’s perception makes kind of relationships we have between us, but it is just a part of our approach that we have built according to many factors. Thus, from my perspective, it is completely impossible to perceive others without in some way judging or categorizing people. 
To make those judgments fairer we just need to be as fair as possible. The only way to make it possible is to judge according facts and acts, but not according feelings.
