#23 It is normal to like some people and dislike others.

My thoughts to question number 23"it is normal to like some people and dislike others" is i agree with the statement. There are many char. in a person that could influence the way you feel about them. From their personalities to the way they dress or chose to live their lives. Not saying that all these are correct ways to judge people, but it does happen in real life. Human beings have the emotions to feel certain ways and have the capability to like and dislike others, even in the form of judging. Also, though not a fair way of judgement, the way your friends feel about a peron could influence your thoughts of that person, in a positive or negative way. There is always the constant nagging of peer pressure to feel a certain way about topics, but you should feel your feeling because they are yours, not someone elses. I think that it is n ormal to have opinions about people, as long as you don't use those opinions to hurt others.
Everyone is unique and their character makes them that way. I'm assuming that it is safe to say that we all have met someone in our lives that we haven't liked. At first we night not know why, it might simply be a gut instinct or the ways others look at the person as they walk by. But if you are right in your feeling, you soon will find out what it is about that person that doesn't quite click with you. Which isn't a bad thing, it's better to realize it earlier that you don't like this person so you don't have to get involved with whatever drama may follow in the friendship. If this isn't realized early on they may end up being hurt by the person. I know that in my life I have had friends who betray my trust and the event was just too big or went on for too long to overlook. Once you have a grudge against someone, it is very hard to ever return to the former state of friendship.
On the other side of things, people can meet someone and instantly connect with eachother. Many factors can contribute to this effect, maybe you share common interests in styles or music. You could also be invloved in the same after school activities, where you begin to hang out more and learn more about eachother. Once you have met this person, you soon become introduced to their friends and others who share your interests. The fact is we all have likes and dislikes and we look for some of those likes in others. It's not wrong or unusual, it's just human nature. We are allowed to like some people and not like others, I see nothing wrong with that. But it is important that we don't sway the thoughts of others or have our own thoughts swayed. I agree with Missy when she said that"people have their own thinking processes and opinions." People do have their own opinions and have the right to think what they want. A good example is the character of Holden in the book "Catcher in The Rye" because he is very opinionated of others. Now he makes those feelings clear, which I don't totally agree with, but he is a good example of a person who likes and dislikes others. The bottom line is that the right to think and feel towards others is fine, but you must be aware of you surroundings at all times when deciding to make those thoughts into vocal opinions.
