- Sherlock
So I just caught up on all things Sherlock a few days ago and I think the BBC deserves a hardy round of applause for this one! Not only is the show beautifully written and acted out phenomenally, but it also forces us to ask questions about ourselves.
Do I notice the small things?
Am I quick to judge those around me?
Do I have complete trust in those people I call friends?
You see Sherlock (the person) has this amazing ability to notice the smallest details and then use the science of deduction to come up with very accurate hypothesis about people, places, etc...
He sees, and then he judges.
You I and I do the same everyday; however, the big difference is we are not always right. Me make assumptions, pass judgments, and form conclusions based on the details we choose to see. We are usually wrong and cause all kinds of problems and, unlike Sherlock, we don't have a trusty ex-military sidekick to bail us out! A Dr. Watson. A man that trusts in Sherlock even when everyone else has turned their backs. We should be so lucky.
So what I am saying and what this show made me realize is: unless you are a certified genius in the science of deduction - stop making judgments! And, strive to be a Watson and a Sherlock. Find a friend who you can trust no matter what, and be that friend that people trust!
