Why do people say? “I don’t like this thing or him/her.” It is amazing how people in today’s society have become so judgemental. People decide to like or not to like even before they get to know how good the particular thing or person is. Many are the times when people say, “I don’t like Martha,” when asked the reason for not liking Martha, the answer is “I just don’t like her.” I mean, there is no sense in having preferences even before a person knows what could benefit him/her. In many cases we find that the person, who is disliked for no reason, is the same person that helps his/her hater.
Moreover, people put themselves in a position of being naïve because they refuse to know or do things for the first time to know if they like or don’t like those things. During my work at one of the well known restaurant and wine bar in Cape Town, I knew a lady who never wanted to test sea food for no apparent reason. However, one day she was manipulated into eating prawns and only then did she know the wonderful taste of prawns. Today, that woman finds joy in eating various sorts of sea food such as sushi, mussels, and calamari and so on. It is therefore, wise to first try out something to see if it can be liked and thereafter, decide.
