    Complete the above statement as you wish if you can think of something interesting. I think this can be a very interesting way providing clarity when trying to examine the people in your own life. It's quite easy to categorise people when you think about it, and therefore being able to anticipate their actions. And yes, before anyone says it, such statements shouldn't be taken literally... it's also important to remember that everyone doesn't always neatly fit into any one particular category. Anyway here's a few of such statements:
    • those who appreciate a good view, and those who wouldn't even notice if the hills opposite their house had turned to desert over night.
    • those who feel somewhat uncomfortable being in a lit room with undrawn curtains at night, and those who don't mind at all.
    • those who give you their respect when they first meet you, and those who try to make you earn it.
    • those who think trying to bargain is rude, and those who don't.
    • those who walk, and those who don't understand why people walk
    • those who warn you why you shouldn't like certain people that they themselves clash with, and those who let you make up your own mind about said people... even if they'd still love to bad mouth them.
    • those who give priority to keeping the commons area tidy over keeping their bedroom tidy, and those who tend to prioritise in the opposite way.
    • and of course (for those you don't already know!), there's those who dig and those with loaded guns!

    I notice these differences, but don't judge people because of them.

    The person who can't see the view, may have vision problems.

    The person who prefers the drapes drawn may have a good reason, like keeping the house warmer.

    I respect people upon meeting, but expect them to keep my respect - as I do the same to them.

    Bargaining is weird to most North Americans but an accepted thing in commerce elsewhere, so that's just perspective.

    And so on... the main point as you said above is to be observant and non-judgmental.

    The two kinds of people:

    Those who tell you about the bargain they got on day old bread at the flea market,

    and those who tell you how expensive their gluten free, low sodium, milk, egg, peanut, shellfish, wheat, and soy, free non GMO artisan Utopias bottle of beer cost them.... and then post a picture of it on Facebook.

    I cut my Sandwhichs in half
    I prefer ranch over ketchup on my fries.
    The bed only seems to get made by my husband when I'm at work.

    those who put consideration ahead of everything
    and those who think they're doing to world a favor by refusing to consider anything.

    those who try to tell you what to pretend about things no one actually KNOWS anything about anyway,
    and those who love the diversity of the real universe precisely for the very strangeness of it.

    actually there are not two kinds of people in this world,
    there are as many kinds of people as there are people,
    each a unique combination of all sides of all things there are two or more sides to.

    diagonal slice, simply because it is more interesting.
    i notice (and prefer to) the view (of land forms, vegetation, odd and aesthetic forms of infrastructure, and whatever little furry creatures may permit themselves to be visible in it),
    more then whatever humans happen to be in and obstructing it.

    Those who are there for you in your hour of need.
    Those who need you when you're on the toilet.

    Those who have consideration and care for members of their community and those who don't give a sod for anyone but themselves (classic examples of the latter being members of the scumbag 'nasty sleaze party') !!!
