Don't Just Judge from Appearance
I have had a lesson in my life; I made a gut-wrenching mistake by overestimating the person once. A few years back, I met a dude who was so simple—his clothes were shabby, sandals were beat up sandals and shaggy hair not his style.

So at the time I though he was somebody uneducated, maybe even impolite. However, my assumption was immediately refuted when he started talking.

With his smooth speech and extensive knowledge, the man turned out to be a retired teacher who dedicated his life to teaching underprivileged children voluntarily. He had a noble heart and insight that far exceeded many people i knew. i felt ashamed for judging him from his appearance alone. When i realized my mistake, i immediately changed my attitude. i apologized sincerely and tried to get to know him better. From there, I learned that appearance often does not reflect who someone really is.

Judging someone only from their appearance is unfair. Appearance is just an easily manipulated exterior and does not represent someone's heart, character, or life journey. We don't know the background, challenges, or values that person has. We often forget that every individual has a story, and we have no right to judge just from what we see at a glance.

I can not, however, claim that aspect of social life when it comes to appearance. A clean cut appearance shows that you respect yourself and others, and a good first impression. It is not the only criterion to judge a person good in quality.

If you realise that you have misjudged someone well, just own up your mistakes and start with a positive attitude. A lot of times, a decent apology will put your heart and soul into a relationship.

I feel that if we ALL just attempted to understand before judging the world would be a much better place. Listen, observe more and don't let bias replace your ability to view another with compassion. We are all capable of being more discerning and compassionate.
