Chances

I always give the benefit of a doubt to every person. I don’t listen to my first impression because I don’t believe and I don’t trust my first impression. I don’t believe and I don’t listen to people who says things to other people. Why? because it is their own perception to a person and not my own perception. We might have a different perception with the person.

But more usual than not, I am the one in the losing end. I am the one who gets the blame. For the people around me, its all my fault, because I didn’t listen to them. I am the one to take blame.

Is it wrong to give a benefit of a doubt?

Is it wrong not to judge a person from what you heard from other persons?

Is it wrong not to judge a person by your first impression?

Is it wrong to give a person the chance to my friendship?

I don’t usually care if a person proved me wrong in giving my benefit of a doubt. I didn’t lose anything. But now, with what had happened, maybe I am wrong. Maybe they are right. Maybe there people who don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt. Maybe my first  impression is right sometimes. Maybe I should listen to other people.  

They say I should stop giving the benefit of the doubt? I should listen to the people around me?  I should consider my first impression? But I can’t stop giving the benefit of the doubt. I can’t always consider my first impression. I’ll still take my chances on it.

Chances are; maybe I am right, maybe I am wrong.
