Rencently I talked to an Arabien guy, he made me realize that people are various.
Recently I talked to an Arabian guy. He made me realise that people are different.
The other day I talked to him about Arabien people and Chinese people.
The other day I talked to him about the differences between Arabian and Chinese people.
At the beginning he said I go to club often because I told him I was just back from a dancing club and there are all old people there.
At the beginning of the conversation he said that I often go to clubs because I had said that I had just come back from one and that there were a lot of old people there.
Then I asked him if he went to disco often and he said yes, then I started to joke him if he is looking for girls there.
Then I asked him if he goes clubbing often and he said yes. I started to joke with him about looking for girls there.
He became sad about this and start to think I am not a good girl,
He became sad (do you mean angry / annoyed?) about this and started to think that I am not a good girl.
So I explain to him that I didn't mean it and I just saw many Arabien guys in China they go to club to look for girls and use drugs.
So I explained that I didn't mean to be offensive and I just saw many Arabian guys in China who go to clubs looking for girls and taking drugs.
He said he just went there for a drink and relax, he told me that people are various, he had meet many Chinese also but he never say all Chinese are same.
He told me that he just goes there to have a drink and to relax. He told me that people are different. He has met many Chinese people and doesn't consider them all to be the same. (In English there is a phrase which is "tar someone with the same brush". It means to assume someone is like someone else without any judgement of the new person).
Then I realized that he is right, it's easy to be prejudice when you see something happens often.
I realised that he is right, and that it is easy to be judgements about particular people and societies when you see negative events often.
You can't judge a book buy it's face, also people, you can not tell if he/she is bad or good, weak or strong just through some sort of talk and one face meet.
You can't judge a book by its cover. You cannot tell if they are bad or good, weak or strong, just on first impressions.
In case of getting hurt, people are not always open up and not quick to trust, but sometimes you don't know why you trust but you know that you could.
To avoid getting hurt people do not always open up quickly. But sometimes you don't know why you should trust someone but you know that you could.
Is this because of people are various?
Is this because people are different?
