((((((((((((((I will be taking a break in the dragon slayer story, so stay tuned, there's plenty more to come. In the main time check this out.))))))))))

We as human beings are a very complex race of peoples. We have a tendency to prejudge, be prejudice, hate, fear, and sometimes kill our fellow man for nothing more than dumb reasons.

Personally I don't judge a person by his color. I judge him by his actions, behavior and character. It's not even good to prejudge some animals or even locations, or whatever.

Just as I write this artcle, somewhere in the world there is someone being judged by their race, their sexual preference, their occupation, where they live and many other reasons. There's nothing wrong with profiling for your own safety and maybe other important reasons. However, there is something wrong with being ignorant. Remember it's not what you think that hurts innocent people, it's your actions after you think the thought.

When I first moved in my neighborhood my neighbors judged me to be a drug dealer because I was off on medical for a long time from my job. My wife and I had a few nice cars and that was it. I was on medical so it gave the appearance of me not being employed. Some of my neighbors couldn't figure how my wife went to work everyday and I didn't. One day I heard the little white lady across the street on the phone at her door calling the police on me. Then after I got on my bicycle, several police officers pulled me up and told me that someone reported me as a drug dealer on a bicycle fitting my description. One of the officers I use to work with. I told him my problem with my little old neighbors so they just got back in their police cars and left.

Finally one night, one of my elderly neighbors was being robbed so I came to the rescue. After this, I became the neighborhood hero. What a relief.

This story is about as bad. One night as I was on my way home from work, my wife called me screaming about a big rottiweiler dog that our neighbors visitor brought in with him. At the time we had a little poddle. She was crying because the dog wasn't tied up and she felt that it might attack our little dog and her. I raced home profiling this dog as being a mean hostile dog from the way my wife was crying.

When I pulled up in my drive I looked at the dog and he looked at me. Guess what? the dog was one of the nicest rotts I had ever seen. He didn't even make a sound, not even a snarl the whole time it took me to walk up the sidewalk. We finally let our little dog out to use the bathroom, he still didn't make a sound. Man did I judge this dog wrong.

Point being, sometimes things and people aren't as our fears dictates them to be.

This brings me back to, "The Dragon Slayer," I guess everyone felt that the dragon was going to be mean and that the black knight was going to be the evil mean one. I don't think I have to say anymore on this topic. Like I stated, the "Dragon Slayer" will soon return. Tkcare everyone)))))))))))***

Don't judge a book by it's cover is still one of the hardest lessons in life to learn, Grady. Enjoyed the read! :)
