So there is this old time saying which states, "Never judge a book by its cover." Many of us disregard this statement everyday. We see the young gentleman with long hair and likes to dress like a girl and immediately walk the other way and think that he is a freak. However, this particular person may be extremely intelligent or very much sincere and kind. They could be a person who under different circumstances you could have been extremely good friends with, however you judged the book by its cover and went the other way. There are other instances also. For instance the football team. Many people look at football players and think that they are just a bunch of stupid horndog jocks. However, there are many of them who are very nice and fun to hang out with.
And then you have very studious, handsome, and down-to-earth guys, and you say, "I bet he doesn't even clean the lint trap." When in reality he cleans it out everytime he does the laundry.
"Character is like a tree and reputation is its shadow. The shadow is what we think of; the tree is the real thing." Abraham Lincoln
"When character of a man is not clear to you, look at his friends." Japanese Proverb
