Don'T Judge a Book

DON'T JUDGE A BOOK I chose a book from the library, the cover so appealing to me, being a popular author, on a best-seller's list was he. The New York Times gave praise, 'A heart gripping thriller' they said, and also a real page-turner, I started to read it in bed. Reading the first two chapters it was never my kind of book. So full of filthy language, I was betrayed by the cover's look. Don't judge a book by its cover, this applies to humans as well. The outside may not be attractive, it's the contents inside that dwell. Don't judge a book by its cover, if only the well groomed to greet. Whereas the ragged or homeless, we give a wide berth on the street. Don't judge a book by its cover you may be deceived by it's looks. People have different life stories, so various, just as the books. Don't judge a book by its cover until some chapters you read. Snap judgements are too hasty, discernment is what we all need.

Books are like windows; they let light in. Some people are books telling the world about its author. We should leave them on the shelf.

Thanks for comment. The cover can be misleading, it is what the book of life reveals that is important. Blessings, Vivien
