I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
-Bilbo Baggins
The Lord of the Rings, Farewell speech, Chapter 'A Long-Expected Party'.
Often I believe people are quick form opinions of others based on appearance, reputation, or the opinions of others. It's like being a character in a book. Everyone seems to know your past, everything about your present, and assumes how you'll be in the future as if it's already written. It's unfair that most people only know you half as well as they should; and still judge you more than you deserve. It's up to you to decide whether you'll remain stereotyped into a predetermined role or if you determine your own path.
