Bookstores are often filled with are several kinds of books. BIG Books & SMALL Books, Books with attractive covers and those whose covers are not-so-attractive.
You really cannot categorically claim that a book is going to be fascinating...or appealing to you merely based on the attractiveness of the BOOK cover. You can never know what a book holds...for sure, until you OPEN THE BOOK… access the content within.
HUMANS are like BOOKS…and they come in several shapes and sizes kinds of covers...appearances. Some may seem as innocent as Lambs, or as rugged as (can't think of an appropriate simile at the moment), some may seem to as Holy as a Nun, the rest, as carnal OR devilish as a Boko haram terrorist.
Do not make assumptions about people based on their cute smiley faces, amazing body, skin colour OR family history (I have seen making-sense books with not-as-attractive covers as other books from the same Author).
Such assumptions tend to have flaws most times. Because then …. THEY ARE JUST COVERS...and in some cases, the covers are not as attractive (or repulsive) as the content… (their character).
Hence, Before you judge someone...OR claim you know someone OR draw conclusions about who someone is, you should really really get to know that someone.
"While you judge me by my outward appearance, I am silently doing the same to you, even though there's a ninety-percent chance that in both cases our assumptions are wrong."- Richelle E. Goodrich.
