People are prismatic

My favourite subject is people..different people, random people.. I just love to observe them..its a less known fact but I am a pretty sincere student when it comes to studying people..the only mistake I always end up making is, that I forget that no person is 100% bad or 100% good..I have had friends who have been downright insensitive, mean and heartless..and I have had 'enemies' (a very strong word but then its needed to show the contrast) who have gone out of the way to help me at some point..

So is it fair to categorise people, classify them?

Is it even fair to write off somebody completely or place somebody in the hall of fame ever ?

The finality attached to it is pretty ruthless, too much rests on our perceived spot-on judgement and the assumption that the person is a single layered human being who has no other hidden or less known aspects to his/her personality..

So many times people have surprised me pleasantly and unpleasantly and thats because in my mind I had already classify them as good or bad purely in context to their equation with me and when they deviated even a little the surprise element just popped up!!

Probably this is the reason why people make interesting subject matter because the element of certain uncertainities is always there...and frankly speaking if you let somebody speak for long enough they end up revealing themselves without you making any effort, and this is the time when silence is truly gold.
