We judge a book by it's cover.

 

I would like to start with a quote by Steve Cosgroves. “Never judge someone by the way he looks or a book by the way it's covered; for inside those tattered pages, there's a lot to be discovered.”

Yes, we do, we do judge a book by its cover, but we shouldn’t do that.

Judging a book by its cover is being judgemental, judging without knowing the full story.

We are so quick to assume a person on the way they are dressed or their appearance, but do you really know what is going on? In a video by Dhar Mann, a real estate manager judges a man who is poorly dressed and tells his colleague that the man won’t be able to afford the house and goes to a woman who is dressed in designer clothes but when its time to pay for the house the woman says ‘do you really think I would be able to afford this house? All that I am wearing is not mine’ and the manager is shocked, but man pulls out a bag of money and shows the manager that you should never be so quick to judge a person by appearance.  

Judging a person on whether they are thin, or fat is wrong too. If I judge a girl by how fat she is and say that her fatness won’t take her anywhere in life is wrong, I don’t know the full story and therefore I shouldn’t judge her.

In a story called Dusk by Saki, Norman Gortsby judges a young man, fairly well dressed and thinks that he is an honest man, but he was proved wrong, this man cheats him so he could get some money. And the moral of the story is that not everyone can be a good judge of people despite all their experience.

I have seen people judge rich people and think their lives are perfect because of their fame and money, but behind those smiling faces, there is a story, yet to be uncovered.

Now it just doesn’t end at judging. We also get influenced by people in maybe a wrong way, we should not get influenced by whether a person is fat or thin, or whether they wear designer clothes or not, we should get influenced by their personality, we should get influenced by who they are on the inside.

Sometimes before judging a person on their looks think about how you would feel if someone judged you, and at that moment you will think its fine, and say I wouldn’t mind if someone judged me but when it does happen to you, you will realise that it is not fair.

Honestly, outer appearance doesn’t matter until you are pure from within, Beauty is within you, not outside you. To conclude I would like to say a person should not be judged on their fame, looks or money, they should be judged on their personality because that is who they are. What you do comes back to you, so be kind to everyone.
