Never Judge a Book By Its Cover

Quote of the day: 

While you judge me by my outward appearance I am silently doing the same to you, even though there's a ninety-percent chance that in both cases our assumptions are wrong. -Richelle E. Goodrich

Reality is special in that it's the here and now. The state of things in the real world a place where we co-exist with other minds. People are quick to point out about the need to face one's reality, to live and not just exist. It's all well and good to be the judge and not the accused. But how difficult it is today not to be critical of the actions of others -especially those that affect our general well being.

When rummaging through libraries and collection of books, taking in the bibliosmia although the covers may be desirable and charming it's the actual knowledge held inside that make all the difference. The written words within which captivate the thoughts and ignites our emotions. We do not judge a book by its appearance -as appearances can be deceptive. For example a book with a great looking cover may contain nothing of value written inside but would still be the first pick in a pile of books. It's easy to miss the books with the valuable books with blank covers underneath.

Same goes for people because when you throw assumption and inference out the window, reality and genuineness springs forth. But in a world where our experiences with some bad eggs make us more cautious, doubtful and suspicious, our assumption is all we hold on to. Trust is very important in life. We trust that things and people will always deliver. You expect a flight not only to be on time but also to be flown safely to your destination. You put your trust in a pilot you have never met, and perhaps an airline you don't fly frequently. Let's assume that you do fly frequently, still your trust is in the airline -a book with a fancy cover. You trust that family and close friends will always be there when you need them. But will you be there when you are needed? Will you show the world the real you, your real thoughts, and not just the camouflage everyone is used to seeing?

You are a book. People treat you good and sometimes they don't. People hold you dearly, care for you even and other times they throw you into a pile. But that is just life. Nobody has it perfectly figured out -not yet anyway. You don't have to alter your appearance to suit anyone, to trap them into liking you because in the end the real you hidden beneath that cover will be exposed. You wouldn't want your worth or value to be pre-judged based on your outlook. Be yourself at all times and those who like you for you will stay to hear your story and help create new and meaningful chapters.
