Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? One should never judge a person by external appearances.
It is true that the external appearances take important part to show yourself to other peoples, especially now a day. Although some people think that judging somebody with the external appearances is right, I stand in support of the view that it is not fair to judge someone by their looking. There are two logical reasons for my opinion. One is that it is possible to miss the real value of other person. The other is that it can cause misjudging.
To begin with, it is impossible to see someone’s real merit by looking at their external appearances. People have actual strengths that can’t be showed to outside. Otherwise, people who have beautiful appearance might not have great ability on anything. When I was a middle school student, there was a boy who has extremely weird face, and it took apart him from other friends. One day, he had chance to perform his skills to play piano in the school. He played it extraordinarily, and everybody in my class room was just astonished by him. After it happened, other classmates looked at him differently, and he made a lot of friends.
Once more, it is hard to judge others properly with only external appearances. Even though one guy looks like a criminal, we cannot say that he is a criminal only with that fact. It would be definitely mistaken way to judge somebody. For example, there was an accident in my country. Which was that one brutal looking guy ran out to the subway, because he was late for the job. One another guy saw him, and he thought that he stole something and ran away. That guy followed and caught the criminal looking guy, and they got fight because of misjudging.
Taken together, even though the external appearances are significant on these days, judging other people only by the external appearances can cause bad and even dangerous results. Looking at the inside of the people helps to find out actual merit of them, besides it also prevents you from misunderstanding and misjudging.
