Never judge a book by it's cover... Unless you know for a fact it's a book of lies

Hello ladies and gents. Before I start on my topic, I must say that I have reached my 20th follower on my blog, and I do thank you for reading and seeing what it is I've had to say about life and the things in it. Again, THANK YOU.

Now to move forward. I know I may have been guilty of doing this myself, but once it became a little more personal, then I had to look deeper into this topic for myself. It's utterly ridiculous to judge a person you don't even know, and automatically have the assumption that they may be one thing, when it's really another.

Just like I've always heard people say never judge a book by it's cover, in all honesty, you really can't. Now if you were to get more into this "book" and discover that there are lies being told, then you can rush to judgment at that point in time. Otherwise, you are wasting precious time trying to figure out something you know nothing about. I can use a good example of what I'm talking about.

Say for example you are dating someone that you have feelings for or like, and you want to introduce them to your family or friends. And just when you bring your s.o. to a gathering to meet them, and just before your s.o. can be introduced, your family or friends are looking at them nine ways crazy before they even know your s.o.'s name. You get this strange feeling deep down that the person you brought to the gathering is not received well, and this in turn breeds a very disturbing vibe in the air that can't be cut with a sharp knife.

Sure enough, there are just some people you would get that bad vibe from, true in some instances. However, you still CANNOT be in a rush to judge a person, because of whatever reason you have not to like them. It's all about getting to know people first. Then from that point on, you can make the determination of whether or not to like a person. That's like looking at a person based on skin color and automatically stereotyping them based on how they look. NOT A GOOD LOOK.

Ladies and gentlemen, I challenge each and every one of you to get to know someone you may have had a one time occurance with and was quick to dislike, and get to know that person. If you don't like that person after getting to know them, at least you have a more legitimate reason not to like them. But if you do like them after knowing them, then you have just successfully passed my challenge. And whatever happens from there, submit your experience in the comments section. I will definitely be reading it.

Until the next post, take this challenge into consideration and put it to good use. You never know how well or worse the outcome would be.

Peace and Blessings,

Untouched Jewel
