First Impressions ........
First Impressions, is important. To one person to give it to another person, for a first time, to impress. But that’s what one think, but to the person receiving it may mean another. This is personal subjectiveness with frame of reference. It is so with culture, up bringing, personal experience and religion.
Basically, people judge all the time. With the first date, the job interview, etc. With so many images running though our minds with Ideals, ideology and what not. And so people judge, the way one carry themselves, their table manners, posture, how they speak, and punctuality. To earn the respect of others, one must pass their judgment, if not one will be considered an outcast.
Who throws the first stone? To judge the poor woman, Jesus challenged the people who mobbed lynched her. And who is the poor woman? Who, like her feels the peer pressure of conforming to peer’s judgment of what ever they think she done was wrong?
It’s not just about what has been done, or how it has been done. It’s more of that very first impression that lasts, as the saying goes “The first impression always lasts.” or is it? Change comes with time, time changes people.
The ones who were quick to throw were the ones who left in that parable. Wonder why? Who knows… who knows…
