There’s No Such Thing as “That Kind of Person”

One experience that stands out in my memory is an encounter I had with two well-known figures, Charlotte and Sam, many years ago. I spotted them in a local pharmacy in New York City, though the specific location escapes me now. What I do recall is that Charlotte was holding a small dog, which I later learned was named Twinkle.

It’s fascinating how fame intertwines with fleeting encounters; it’s remarkable that I still remember that brief moment after all this time. One reason this memory is so vivid is because of how serious they appeared. They were engaged in a low-toned, earnest conversation, their expressions grave.

At the time, I thought perhaps they only displayed their comedic sides when performing. Maybe this is how public figures behave when they’re not in the spotlight, or perhaps they were trying to be discreet because of their fame.

Interestingly, this encounter may have coincided with a challenging moment in Charlotte’s life, possibly the day she received distressing news from her doctor. While I was enjoying a casual day out with a celebrity sighting, they might have been facing one of their toughest days.

This brings to light the concept of fundamental attribution error, which describes the tendency to attribute others’ behaviors to their character while overlooking situational factors. I assumed that Charlotte and Sam’s demeanor reflected their personalities, not considering the external circumstances they might have been experiencing.

This serves as a reminder to extend grace to others. We should always consider that someone’s irritability, aloofness, or forgetfulness may not truly represent their character or relate to our actions. It’s crucial not to take things personally. As the philosopher Henri-Frédéric Amiel wisely noted, “Life is short, and we never have enough time for the hearts of those who travel the way with us. O, be swift to love! Make haste to be kind.”
