"Don't Judge A Book by It's Cover"

The answer is NO. [source]
I believe, we all have heard about this. All the time.
But, do we really know what it really means.

So, let's take a look at this book.
The cover might look smudgy and dusty.
Some of them may seem so easy and simple.
But what's important is the inside.
The content, the information that it brings.
So, literally, what it means;
Don't judge something based only on its appearance.

Well, in life, we should do this. We must do this.
But the truth is, naturally, we do the opposite.
We judge others based on the appearance.
Based on the exterior. The parts, which is visible.
Based on what we saw. Based on what we have heard.
Then, easily, we made labels and calling them names.
We made negative perceptions.

When we see kids, who have phones,
We thought their parents must be rich.
When we see teenagers drive a luxury car,
We thought, "It must be their parent's car".
When we see adults do bad things,
They must be bad persons.
When we see people dance out of nowhere,
They must be crazy and psychotic.

Well, that is what we see.
So, we made assumptions. We made speculations.
But what we don't see. What we don't know is that.

The phones might belong to their parents.
The luxury car is a reward for their hardworking.
The bad person is not what they look like.
They may be involves in desperate situations.
Even though, the answer is not the right solution.
And the crazy people might have experienced a bad trauma.
In the past, which caused the abnormal condition of the mind.

At first, people thought that she can't sing. [source]
See, this is what we are. What is currently happening.
We see things just on one direction. One view.
We don't courage ourselves to see things differently.
See things on multiple views and different perspectives.
But when we do, we'll see it much more clearly.
And the world will become much better.

From the way I look at it, when we judge others.
It's always about us. It's never about them.
I believe we are jealous. We always compare ourselves to others.
We can't have what they have. We can't do what they do.
So, we judge. We judges to make ourselves better.
Just to make ourselves feel better.

So, before you judge others, think about this.
How do you feel if people judge you?

i never judge a book by its cover. like people, it's deceptive. however, the short synopsis at the back is what i go by. :-)
