Not all who wander are lost

This statement always refers to stereotypes and blanketing people whether it beliefs or any other form of stereotype including discrimination. We as people always associate certain behaviors with certain people and it’s wrong to just give blanket to whoever we come across because a certain individual behave a certain way or we were told that, a group of people have the following types of behaviors.
In fact this some time comes from our backgrounds for example apartheid in South Africa; you can just assume that all white people in South Africa supported apartheid that is just presumption. It boils down to what Martin Luther Junior said that, I have a dream that my four children will leave in nation that will not be judged with the colour of their skin, but with the content of their characters. To judge people in their action is a big danger which can result not really understanding what they are because it’s not scientifically tested finding and we all need to  careful of labeling anyone who wanders as lost
Although we accept human biasness , it is important to have a tested balance of our assumption, in other words such assumption must be followed by evidence to prove it.
