Judge a book by its cover. Appearances alone tell us a lot about a person. On top of that, kindly consider what a person has to go through dressing themselves up. Yes, we all care about how we look and appearances do create a point of view. I’m not saying everyone spends minutes and hours in front of the mirror and contemplating which outfit looks best, there are those of us who like doing that and those who put on whatever is thrown in their face and are just as comfortable. It just is like that.
Come to think of it, I think ‘covers’ are the perfect supplements in analysing a person. Just as we are capable of hiding our physical flaws and staging looks, we deceive even more through what we say and how we act. Don't we all do things and say things because we want to be seen and heard that way? To say you don’t form an opinion about a person on meeting them is to say that you just do not have any opinion of your own; you could instead try not to form a strong one (and not shove it in everyone’s face) and be open to wrong conclusions. Because it always ends with “I never thought she/he was such a person” or “I always knew she/he was like that”. We are always right, even when we think we are wrong, we are right in thinking that we are wrong.
No matter what, we always look at people in a way that is convenient for us, negatively or positively. We use our judgements to justify ourselves. So make a judgement or don’t make a judgement, it does not change the person or the thing (even if it does only remotely) it only affects you.
Well, there may be differing views but this is how I think it works.
Everyone is judgmental and if everyone accepts that, then we can look at things more objectively by taking our own subjectivity into thought (and we will all live happily ever after!).
Oh! But make sure you...
