One night there was a woman at the airport who had to wait for several
hours before catching her next flight. While she waited, she bought a
book and a pack of cookies to spend the time. She looked for a place to
sit and waited. She was deep into her book when she suddenly realized
that there was a young man sitting next to her who was stretching his
hand and with no concern whatsoever, was grabbing the pack of
cookies lying between them. He started to eat them one by one. Not
wanting to make a fuss about it, she decided to ignore him. The woman,
slightly bothered, ate the cookies and watched the clock, while the
young and shameless thief of cookies was also finishing them. The woman
started to get really angry at this point and thought "If I wasn't such
a good and educated person, I would have given this daring man a
black eye by now". Every time she ate a cookie, he had one too. The
dialogue betwee! n ! ! their eyes continued and when only one biscuit was
left, she wondered what was he going to do. Softly and with a nervous
smile, the young man grabbed the last biscuit and broke it in two. He
offered one half to the woman while he ate the other half. Briskly she
took the biscuit and thought, "What an insolent man! How uneducated! He
didn't even thank me!" She had never met anybody so fresh and sighed
relieved to hear her flight announced. She grabbed her bags and went
towards the boarding gate refusing to look back to where that insolent
thief was seated. After boarding the plane and nicely seated, she looked
for her book which was nearly finished by now. While looking into her
bag she was totally surprised to find her pack of cookies nearly
intact. If my cookies are here, she thought feeling terribly sorry,
those others were his and he tried to share them with me. Too late to
apologize to the young man, she realized with ! pa! ! in, that it was her who
had been insolent, uneducated and a thief, and not him. How many times
in our lives, had we known with certainty that something happened in a
certain way, only to discover later that it wasn't true? How many times
has our lack of trust within us made us judge other people unfairly with
our conceited ideas, often far away from reality?.
That is why we have to think twice before we judge others. Let's always
give others the benefit of the doubt before we think badly of them.
i cry my eyes out baby
and all i can think of is you...
baby only you...
day by day heart to heart
i hope that will will ever be together
will it be me and you?
i dream of a love that would last forver...
hold me tight in your arms
i know we have the strength to saty together
walk with me hand in hand
i promise to be there
forever...forever...
That's pretty funny. I heard a story similar to that.
This old lady had just pulled intot the parking lot of the grocery store. She found a parking spot finally, and went on her way to shop.
She had been in for a while, and when she finally came out, it was dark. She was a little nervous, but not that much, because she had been taking lessons at a gun range. When she finally came to her car, she saw that there were 5 young men all around it. One of them was in the car, 2 were sittign on top, and the others were smokng outside. The old lady was so upset she pulled her gun from her pocket book, and ordered the young men to leave her car. The young men were so terrified, they each bolted in a different direction.
The old woman felt good about how she handled the situation, and was about to enter her car when, to her surprise, she realized that this wasn't her car. .
The old woman felt absolutely horrible. When she found her actual car she drove to the police station to turn herself in. When she got to the front desk of the police station, she told her entire story to the officer there. When she was through, the police officer chuckled, and pointed over to the wall where there were 5 terrified young men sitting down. They claimed they had been car jacked by an elderly woman.

haha, yeah i've read this one be4....
hadn't read tori's before, though....
but the main moral of each story really does get the point across....that people really are so quick to prejudge and have preconceived misconceptions about people, things, ideas, or whatever....
i've tried to get better about this....try to be more open-minded....because everyone and everything deserves a chance....and besides, i know i hate when people prejudge me, based on whatever they think might be the case about me....that ain't cool...so i gotta remember to give everyone else the same open mind...
but anywayz....thanks 4 sharing, both of ya....good stories........

You're right. I could be a lil better at being open minded.
