Let's say that a person who is an A student, and all-star in their schools football team, and is the apple of his parents eye, we'll call him...Scott, and his friend for say, um 6years, we'll call the friend...Robert, just started hanging out with the "bad-boys" of their school because his parents are divorcing. Now Adam was walking home from... Sarah's, his girlfriend, house when he see's Robert and his 'group' were smoking as Robert sees Scott as well.(Let's see how it plays out.)
Robert:(With cigarette in hand, rushes over to Scott)Hey man. Long time no see.
Scott:(Nudges Robert in the other way as he keeps on walking)
Robert:(Getting mad) Hey man, why don't you have some. Take a load off. (Waves it in his face) You know you want to.
Scott:(Keeps on walking)
"The group":(Grabs Scott)
Robert:You know you don't walk away from me.(Scott puts his nose up as Robert waves it in his face)
Scott:(Pulls "the group" off of him.) I can smell the booze in your breath.(Grabs Roberts shoulders)Go home.
Robert:(Looks at Scott's face for a long moment)Okay.(Scott begins to escort Robert home. "The bad boys" slowly follow them.)
James( a "bad boy"):No one walks away from us. (The "bad boys 'jump' them as Sarah walks outside to see the 5 of them in a fight.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~PAUSE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now if you were Sarah or a 'gossiper' and you just saw a big fight, you would automatically assume that Robert's influence has changed him in a 'fighter.' If you were Scott or Robert in this position, you would know the truth but no one would believe you because they assume that all along Robert has been influencing him and he has become this new man. Now what do you think? That Scott should be judges for a simple act or shouldn't. Comment for your answer. Or post one of you own with the help of this hyper-linked-post.
