At the sight of them , my daughter immediately asked me , “ Daddy , why are they like that ? ” Years ago I would have felt very with such young people . I would have given a judgmental explanation and passed along to her my . However , that day I said to my daughter , “ I’m not really sure , but it’s interesting how we all are , isn’t it ? ” She said , “ Yeah , I like my own hair . ”
Actually , I was pretending to be an anthropologist . Anthropology（人类学）is a science which deals with man and his social habits . I think of anthropology here as “ being interested , without , in the way other people choose to live and . ” – When you are curious about the way someone behaves or the way they feel about something , it’s that you will be annoyed .
When someone acts in a way that seems to you , rather than react in your usual way , such as “ I can’t believe they would do that , ” say something to yourself like “ I see , that must be the way they things in their world . Very interesting . ” In order for this to help you , you have to be genuine as I tried that day . I my perspective from the bottom of my heart . And that made me .
When you are interested in other perspectives , it doesn’t mean you’re them . I certainly wouldn’t choose a punk rock lifestyle or it to anyone else . At the same time , however , it’s really not my to judge it either . One of the most important rules of joyful living is that judging others takes a great deal of energy and you away from where you want to be .
