One memorable encounter that stands out to me is when I spotted a famous couple, Maxine and Leo, one day in a quaint New York City drugstore. I distinctly remember Maxine walking with a tiny dog—later I learned the pup’s name was Twinkle.
It’s quite fascinating how fleeting moments with public figures can stick in our minds, isn’t it? After all these years, I still recall that brief sighting, even if it was just a snapshot in time.
What struck me most was their demeanor. They appeared deep in conversation, speaking softly and looking quite serious. I remember thinking, “Perhaps comedians are only funny on stage. Maybe they’re just trying to blend in.”
What’s more, this encounter might have coincided with a challenging time in their lives. While I was enjoying the thrill of a celebrity sighting, they could have been grappling with something profound.
This situation perfectly illustrates the concept of fundamental attribution error—the tendency to overemphasize personality traits while overlooking situational factors. I assumed their serious behavior was indicative of who they were, not the struggles they might have been facing.
This is a gentle reminder for all of us: it’s essential to extend grace to others. Their grumpiness or absent-mindedness often has little to do with their true character or our interactions with them. As the saying goes, don’t take things to heart. Embrace kindness and love, for life is too short.
