 |   Second blog -- answers to an ocean of prompts |
 "Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself." CHARLIE CHAPLIN  Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you. David Whyte        This is my supplementary blog in which I will post entries written for prompts. |
| Prompt: Do you judge a book by it's cover? ---------------- In a literal sense, no, I don't judge a book by its cover, and neither do I pay much attention to the blurbs. When I am not sure about a book, I run an internet query on its summary, so at least I know what the book is about. Yet, if you mean the idiom "Don't judge a book by its cover," it is just a metaphorical expression. Where would we be without metaphors, in this world, right? However, that is a short cut that means, in the metaphorical sense, making quick judgments and categorizing things based on limited information. As for me, I try not to judge anything and especially anyone solely based on their appearance, upbringing, and even education. Everyone may have unique qualities, talents, and experiences not directly visible to our eyes. Unfortunately, in our world, appearances are given undue importance, for as humans, we may all foster a superficial anything, our biases, and preconceived notions. This is inescapable. Unfortunately, we miss then the true beauty hiding behind a façade. . |
