There is beauty in blemish

It is often said, that things are not always what they seem and that one should not judge a book by its cover. Sometimes, beautiful things may appear ugly and ugly things on the other hand may appear beautiful. This is why one must be very careful in jumping to conclusions about things and people.

A few years ago, I went hunting with a friend of mine, and we stumbled on a very strange animal, having a long pointed nose and an ugly appearance. It was hiding in a hole on a log of wood that was laying on the ground. And when we attempted killing it, it bite our dog and was making a continuous scary noise, which almost made us give up on it, but we persisted and eventually, we killed it.

Even after its death, this little fearful hunter was still very skeptical about touching it. It was my friend that summoned courage and picked up and put it in our hunting bag. All the while, I was wondering whether or not I would be able to eat this ugly beast and what will it even taste like.

On getting home, we signed it and thoroughly cooked it, being afraid of any possible infection. When it was done, I had to summon the courage to taste just a little of it...and guess what! The story changed.

I tasted the sweetest meat of my life. How could this ugly thing taste this wonderful? I was so amazed and impressed by the taste of it and ever since then, I have always been on the lookout for that particular animal anytime we go hunting. It's a pity that I don't know what this animal is called, I would have gladly introduced it to you.

Meanwhile, something more amazing than the taste is the lesson that I learned that day, that there may sometimes be beauty behind a blemish and that things are not always what they seem. I learned not to jump to conclusions. I learned not to judge people before trying them. I learned that there may be something beautiful even in people who appear hostile on the outside. So I take my time to study people thoroughly before passing a judgment on them.

How I wish that we all reach this knowledge that there are most times beauty in even blemish and that there's nothing that is all together ugly, for it even written, that when God made them, everything was very good.
