I cannot believe in 2016 we are still to continuing to judge people by their exterior. It seems like almost everywhere you go people will always judge you for what you look like, what you have or even worse, what you do not. How can we truly judge someone who we know nothing about? How does that work exactly? Just because I have the latest shoes, a nice car, and long pretty hair means I’m happy and wealthy, right? How do you know my mom did not spend her last paycheck on my shoes or that my car wasn’t a hand me down. What if I was I was born with this hair? There is a lot we do not know about people but that is because we don’t bother to ask.

I believe a lot of people miss out on meeting or getting to know someone spectacular simply because they choose to only look at what is on the surface. Sometimes and most of the time people have more to offer if they were only given the chance to share it. Is it a crime to say that the world would not be as unique or compelling if everyone was alike with the same mindset? Because none of us are alike it makes everything so interesting and being able to find someone that is able to broaden your horizon is absolutely inspiring.

Judging someone exclusively by his or her looks is a choice, not something that comes naturally. Yes, I do agree that it is easy to have an initial thought, but failing to expand on that though to learn more is a choice. We choose to judge people especially when they are not like us. It will always be that constant disconnection between them and us if we continue to make it one. People will forget what you said and maybe what you did but they will never forget how you made them feel. Be careful who you judge before getting to know them.
