Do you know people who smoke a pipe? Actually, I should probably ask: do you know men who smoke pipes - because I have never seen a woman do so. With pipe smoking, only certain characters come to my mind: men, intellectuals, Sherlock Holmes as a clever detective, etc. So while with cigarettes I have the impression that anyone or everyone could consume it, that's not the case with tobacco pipes. A prejudice? Or statistical significance? Whatever. In our lives we probably have many such cases that are clear to us - but are they so clear? Or do we just want them to be clear for the sake of simplicity? Why don't you pay attention today to your dealings with other people: how many of them, whether they are well known or hardly known, have you classified and catalogued in this way? Are you willing and ready to detach yourself from such images and to meet them again in a completely unbiased way? Perhaps even to set them free through this?
I wish you an extraordinary day!
