Never Judge a Book By its Cover
Simple enough.
We all know what it’s really like to take life for granted. Even if it’s just something little, like not spending enough time with someone, to physically using someone. What we don’t realize is that even the little things can cause a harm to someone that is completely unspoken. Most people try to hide their feelings as if it is some way to protect themselves and to protect others from having sympathy. Most people have unspoken problems that are not clear to the naked eye. Judging someone is something we all have dealt with. But what you don’t see, is that every person has their own struggle. One that you can not see and therefore, we keep on judging them. Every soul has a sense of goodness even if they do not push it forward. The people that you judge, if you actually take the time to know them, can turn out to be the most wonderful human being you have ever known. We all have our own secrets, our own thoughts, and our own minds. So why judge someone else by their outer skin when most likely, that person has dealt with the same things you have, or maybe even worse. As we all know the famous line ” Don’t judge a book by it’s cover “, it also helps with every day life. The smallest things you do could lead to something bigger, something you didn’t realize you were capable of doing. We may judge someone because of what they wear, seeing an instant flaw in that person. But that person is just showing their own sense of style. Why judge someone by what they wear if it is different? It’s just showing us that they have no problem showing their true colors and their own personal style and to separate themselves from others. So please tell me, why judge that person for wanting to be different from you? If you had known that person, been their friend, and knew their struggles, you would look passed how they show themselves, and love them for them. If we all would just stop taking even the smallest things for granted, the drama would stop, the anger would stop, and you feel better about everything. When the drama goes away, the problems go away, the anger goes away, your revenge goes away, therefore, making YOU a better person. We make our own lives worse by bringing out the judgmental side. You would not take things for granted or sabotage your own life if you would just let someone in. My advice to you : Befriend someone you never thought you could be friends with, maybe an unpopular kid in high school, or maybe if you are the unpopular one, try talking to one of the hot shots. Take a chance to see someone for who they really are. If it turns out bad, you at least gave it a chance. Sure, every person has their flaws, but every person also has a great part to them. Even if your friends think you are lame for attempting, if they were really your friends, they wouldn’t mind that you are simply being a sweeter person.
