Tough Conversations- Stereo-Typing

I feel like we are constantly stereo-typing those around us. We are not valuing people for their individuality. Let me explain. 

I am a complex person with many thoughts and ideas. I am still learning about myself and others. I do not know everything about everything, or anything about anything some days.

So...... it is not a good idea to say or think things like...

Just because she is a woman she believes.......

Just because she is a teacher she believes.......

Just because she is in this age demographic she believes.......

Just because she lives here she believes.......

Just because she....... and the list goes on.

See, I don't fit into a nice little neat package that a political party, or movement, or another person thinks I should fit into.

I am complex. We all are complex.

Please think for yourself. Do your research. A lot of research from multiple credible sources. Ask questions when you need to. 

And above all, don't think you know how a person is thinking or feeling without asking them. If they give you a quick answer and you need more information, seek it out. 

Be the complex person you were created to be.
