The one benefit that seems to come with age is the awareness that so many initial judgments about people are flawed.That first iron clad opinion many times comes from the prism of our own experiences and is filled with personal bias.Some of the marvelous friends that I have made were not always immediately part of my inner circle.I have learned to revisit those absolute judgments, and have found that once the outer circle was uncovered there was a wonderful human being beneath.
