weird it may sound, and confusing it is.... but have u ever tried to put in words those feelings which were so obvious otherwise.
take for example calling someone smart.. your statement is generally out of some set of experience.
but if required to cite specific examples you often find yourself at a loss of words.
faced with a similar dilemma i set out on a mental trek to unearth this human limitation..
here are a few pointers...
while reading a block of text humans tend to jump words which they suppose are not particularly additive to the overall comprehension of the block of text.
Also the way in which human memory functions is fascinating. What gets registered is something which you might not have paid much attention too but something which had a fleeting appearence to your sensory system.
So when one meets a person for some time, its not what the person does distinctly that gets embedded in the subconcious..but its the subtleities of the person which gets registered in our brain "database". and that too is not an individual entry but an amalgamation of all entries for the same person..
so the end result is that when you are faced with questions like
"why did u call me demanding ?"
you are virtually speechless. your brain just has an entry saying....as per experience ,this person has been categorized demanding. but the entry dosen't reflect what specific events where finally taken into account to make such a stand :)
thats why its said...your first impression is the last impression.....
unfair isn;t it.....but we can;t help it :)
