As human beings, we have a tendency to judge people at first sight . We automatically think "her hair is ugly" or "his shoes are old" but forget to truly evaluate the person for who they are, rather than what they look like. We are so quick to cast people off in a certain category that we don't take the time to think to ourselves "why are they acting like that?".

We forget to remember that everyone is going though something, and we should try to make their lives easier, not harder. It is a very cliche quote but it's true when they say "If you do not have something nice to say, do not say it at all." When we were younger that applied to little things like calling someone a potato head, but now it goes deeper.

When someone has constantly been put down, they begin to act a certain way to cope with what they are going through. They may be quick to have a temper, act passive aggressive, or not say anything at all, but don't cast them aside as a bad person because of it. Take the time to learn and understand people before passing judgement, and the world will be a better place.

Also small gestures go a long way, things as simple as a compliment. Someone can be going through a rough time but you complimenting them on their outfit or a personality attribute can really brighten their day. Your small compliment can make them go from being in a dark place and ready to give up, to showing some light to their situation.

All that you have to do is to be kind to the people all around you. Wave to someone who looks upset, talk to someone who you haven't connected with in a while, and just try to be the best person you can be regardless of the circumstance . We have a tendency to get so wrapped up in what we are going through that we forget that we are not alone.

We forget that everyone has a battle, and even though it may be minor to you because you have gone through worse, it doesn't mean that you should cast them off as being dramatic. That small obstacle in your eyes is climbing over a mountain to them, therefore when they are pouring their hearts to you, don't make it about you and your pain. Listen to people when they speak to you and help them as much as you can, especially if you already went through it. Be the person that you needed when you were upset. Be the person you wish you had in your life, and that will start a ripple effect.
