Don’t judge a book by it’s cover!

Have we lost the basic lessons of life that we were suppose to learn in elementary school or learn from our parents: listen, observe, read, think before you answer? Hope not!!!
It is easy to judge a book by its cover but never be full by it, you may probably think it’s about a specific subject by the first glimpse you took. Or even worst make assumptions that is not good enough or not worth your time to pick it up. Read at least the cover, and inputs of the author, that can give you a general idea before making any conclusion about it.
And let’s do the same with a person, read their profiles information if we are using Facebook or other pages. And when you meet or see someone for the first time allow yourself the chance and (also give them the opportunity) to at least get to know them briefly before making any assumptions.
In these days that everything needs to be done for yesterday, we dont have time, always in a daily rush of I have to do (the eternal race against time) normally, people don’t take the time to paste themselves and slow down, so they can really focus on what they were aiming for, and look an other person in the eye and not waste time and energy in things that are not really important.
When people judge others they are so fast to assume about the other person, and when they don’t get the respond they thought they were going to get back they become defensive, disrespectful and even play the paper of the offended victim.
Everybody is in title to their own opinion about their point of view of life, politic,religion etc. and when someone doesn’t agree with what you have to say, don’t get mad and start attacking the other partie just because the answer you got back from them is not the one you wanted or assume they were going to give you because you were the first one in judge and assume something about them.
Where’s is tolerance and respect toward other’s? Have we lost those qualities? Or is it that they’re only ok when it applies to our side?
Dont be mean, disrespectful and judgemental towards others, just because they dont share your same interest, point of view, values, likes and dislike, intelligence, social status, political view, sexual interest,background, studies, looks, etc. lets allow humanity to be their selves (thats why is interesting to meet new people and new experiences) as long as they dont harm you or your love ones, and most of all don’t step over your boundaries ,but also lets not go over theirs either; it works both ways.
Lets slow down, take a deep breath, value life, and relearn to value tolerance, respect, patience, obedience, discipline, be receptive towards others, etc. dont take me wrong we need to have fun in our lives but also balance, the extremes are never good,(once in a while eat a cookie or a chocolate molten) and the next time your going to be judgmental about a person or assume something about them because of the way they look, talk, etc. think twice because when the coin shifts to the other side its going to be about you.
So don’t do to others what you don’t want for you, AND DON’T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER!!!
