What’s with the human mind? Why are our minds constantly in this great hurry to jump to conclusions? Any inputs from any of our senses seems to trigger the absorb, process, analyze and deduce sequence.
You see two colleagues of opposite sex sitting together and having lunch…bang they must be going around. A colleague walks away to take a call on hand-phone…you go it must be his wife or at other times must be a placement consultant! Cricketers are not faring well… Oh! Those guys spend more time shooting for commercials than in the nets! There are numerous such examples of people doing such things (would have done it ourselves). Well! Lets face it we are judgemental.
We give no room for things to have happened as a coincidence or out of force of habit. For many of us there HAS to be a reason behind every event and occurrence. Therefore the need to create, maintain/change and manage perceptions. Then starts the battle between one’s self-image and perceived image. For many of us perception is reality.
We are a species that takes its place in the evolution chain to seriously. But why take our analytical capabilities so far?
I do not want to know why it smells great after a drizzle nor do I want to find the reason behind why a sunset or a sunrise look best from the beach. I just want live in and enjoy the moment!

Perception vs. reality is a battle that all of us have to endure at some or all points of our lives. The thing is to realize and respect the privacy of each other as people...then that rash of judgement that you've mentioned in the first part of the post does not happen.
Living and enjoying the moment is essential, but it is out analytical skills that do make us special. Let us just not take it too seriously and too far..
