People

I really like people. I like short people, tall people, and the ones in between. Blond hair, brown hair, red hair, blue hair. Curly hair, straight hair. Short hair, long hair. Blue eyes, brown eyes, green eyes, hazel eyes. People are really cool :)
I like personalities too. I like the fact that every person is different, and yet we are still all people, and therefore are still essentially the same in many ways. I like that everyone has different experiences, and that even the experiences we do share are perceived in a different way for each person.
What I don't like is when I dismiss people, or judge them when I don't know much about them. And yet I still do this all the time. I don't like that I find it so easy to blame something someone else does on them, whereas I'll blame things that I do on the situation. I don't like the way that when I honestly look at myself I see how much I fail at being the person I want to be.
I really like people. Each one is amazing, unique, special, and precious. So why is it that I don't show this in my actions? Why is it that when I try my hardest to be the best person I can possibly be, when I ask God to help me to be better, when I make an effort to really care about and love people for who they are, I seem to end up further back from where I started?
