In 2006, when I was in High School and if I can still remember it was early in morning. I looked in the draw for a pair of socks that would match my outfit (school uniform), and I only found a pair of stripe red and white socks.
When I got outside I noticed that my socks were not gray, but stripe red and white! After I have noticed that I am not wearing the right pair of socks, I was shocked and guessed it was maybe the lighting in the bedroom. So I told myself that when I got to my destination, I will take my socks off because they didn’t match with my school uniform that I was wearing and as you know that learners are not allowed to wear stripe red and white socks, they are only allowed to wear grey socks.
When I went back home to take my socks off, I saw they were no longer stripe red and white, My best guest was the overhead lights were filtering out the color white which made my socks stripe red and white.
And that got me thinking on how we use filters on people and on ourselves. Our filters are like the color spectrum, we can color our experiences, with prejudices, and judgments from past experiences, family culture, etc. Now I want to know from you classmates, what filters are preventing you from having high confidence and self-esteem? Are there any comments?
