Hidden Meaning
You never really know someone until you actually get to know them. Judging them off first glance is you assuming they are something, when you don't know really know much about the person. Let's take me for an example. When i speak and talk I sound, for the most part, quiet and conservative. I keep to myself most of the time avoiding contact with other people in hopes to not have to introduce myself. After a while though, I warm up to someone and begin to act like my real self. I become a silly and loud person around people who I am comfortable with. The basic morale of all of this is to not judge someone at first glance. Don't "judge a book by its cover" because that's just unfair to the person. There are always aspects of a person hidden within them just waiting to come out. So just because I'm the quiet and composed boy in the front of the classroom frantically taking notes definitely does not mean that is the real me, once you get to know someone you discover so much about them.

I totally agree with you Andres. I believe just like you that getting to know someone leads to discovery, and is one of my favorite things you said in this post.
ReplyDeleteAndres, sorry it took me so long to comment! I think you're right about hidden aspects of our identities. Similarly, I think people change, and it's important to give our friends "room to grow" over time. Thanks for writing this.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you used the phrase " don't judge a book by it's cover" to simply convey that not everything is what it appears to be.
