All that glitters is not Gold
It simply means, does not believe
everything that you see. Actually, gold
is a precious metal. It has a yellowish shining appearance that attracts
everyone. It is precious also. Does it mean that whatever that glitters and in
golden color is gold? Or does anyone judge the quality of gold by looking only at
its yellowish shiny appearance, what will happen? All that glitters or shines
or having a yellowish shiny appearance are not gold.
Most of us have a very dangerous
habit of judging the quality of a person or thing on the basis of our outward
appearance. A person must be judged not on the grounds of his appearance, but
of talents, culture, manners, and character. In our daily life, sometimes, we
may be impressed by some persons only because of their good looks. Yet the
moment they open their mouths we are much shocked to know that they possess no
culture. The good-looking personality of a man will have no relation to his
character.
If we are to judge the value of a
person on the grounds of his dress and external appearance, it will be a great
blunder. The dress or good look doesn’t always represent what’s true about him.
In such cases external appearance is deceptive. The first impression of a
person may be very attractive, but what is the use if he doesn’t possess any
values. Good looks and loquacity may catch up to another’s attention but when you
come more closely to this person then only you will realize how evil and
unethical is this person.
There are indeed glittering friends, neighbors and there are many relatives but what is the use if he or she has poison in their mind. it is mere rubbish, none of them are our well-wishers at all. Nothing to do with the glittery appearance of people if they have evil thoughts in mind. Their physical appearances and inner qualities are entirely different.
From the outside, the lifestyle
of rich people appears attractive to the world and the poor ones have a strong
desire to become rich and follow their lifestyle. But in reality, most of them
are suffering from a lot of problems. Among the various misfortunes that may
befall humanity, the loss of a soulmate is one of the severest.
On the other hand, some things,
or persons who appear dull and useless in the first impression, may turn out to
be of great use later. The best relations are those that have been gradually
developed and tested over time. The real value of a person doesn’t depend upon
his glittery appearance. Only good character and moral values make you a
human being.
