“Don’t judge a book by its cover” is a metaphorical phrase that has learned since from grade school. You shouldn’t prejudge the worth or value of something, by its outward appearance alone. However, why there are people speak their mind and don’t care no matter what if it’ll rip-out the heart of others?
Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. There’s nothing wrong with being shallow as long as you’re insightful about it. It’s a shallow life that doesn’t give a person a few scars.
Only shallow person know themselves but mostly shallow people end-up nothing. But think about it; shallow people have it so much better because they don’t understand the same things we feel so it doesn’t affect them even how awful feeling it is.
During my teenage years; I was tired of pretending that I was someone else just to get along with my classmates, just for the sake of having friendships, not to be bullied but to bully.
When learning the rope of being with them, I thought I was trapped in a cage and I can’t handle it in their way. I was lying to myself but still I know I would always learn from my mistakes. I learned that when am surrounded with them I find myself judging others – I didn’t consider that the inside is what counts!
But after all I did, I reap confidence away from it which I used it to fight them back whenever we’ve faced into trouble. Being brave is not enough not to be bullied but being confident to pretend being brave is great ammo to defeat the enemy and win the war.
If a person cannot understand the beauty of life, it is probably because life never understood the beauty in them and don’t judge the past by the standards of today because it won’t work – they’re incompatible.
The world only goes around by misunderstanding. Where misunderstanding serves others as an advantage, one is helpless to make oneself understood.
Think twice before you speak!
Well said, especially in today’s world of bullying in all forms…

Going to disappoint you! I use the integrity of dogs as an argument for what man has to learn. As I explain here: http://learningfromdogs.com/dogs-and-integrity/
Very little about looking after them, except to love them as much as they love us.
But that doesn’t take away one element of me wanting to see some of your writings on LfD. Paul

Shallow people are selfish. And in the long run, selfish people are lonely. Sometimes I feel sorry for people who are shallow because it just shows that they live in a very small world and it’s their ignorance that causes them to be so small minded. You make a great point that the best way to move away from being shallow is through self-actualization. Great post.

Hello there, I’m agree with you. You won’t win if you have argument with shallow people. I think their mind is so slow to pick up and embrace great ideas… just saying.
