Look At What Is Inside
Kids, you’ve been here awhile and you have heard me say this before:
Perception is NOT reality. I say this constantly and people refuse to pay attention. Perception is NOT reality! Get that through your heads, people! Stop looking at the packaging on the outside and start looking at the quality of the stuff on the inside.
Do not pass over this video. Even if you don’t normally click on the videos, do not pass this one over.
(For some reason, they won’t let the videos be embedded.)
Notice how the audience was laughing at her, sneering, rolling their eyes? Notice how the judges were laughing and Simon had that look on his face like, “Oh God, this is going to suck.” And then, she opens her mouth and shames them all. And look at Simon at 4:04. He looks like a goofy kid in love. Never seen him look like that before.
So, you see kids? You must stop judging people by what they look like. Girls who spend all that time and money getting all “dolled” up, walking around in their skimpy clothes do not mean they are better than others. Girls who are mellow and don’t look like Barbie dolls aren’t “less than” other girls. Same goes with guys. Someone who looks like a “doofus” doesn’t mean they are one. That guy over there who looks really good? Could be a total twat.
Take the time to get to know someone. Give people a chance. Stop fucking judging people on what they look like, what they wear, what car they drive and where they live. Find out something about them. You would be amazed at the talent, the wisdom, the sense of humor, the experiences they have if you just stop being such prats and give them a chance. Let the person inside show you who they are. Sometimes they are douche bags. But sometimes? You find something wonderful in there. And you’ll notice something as you do this. That girl who looked, “eh, ok” but is so wonderful as a person, starts to look gorgeous to you. That girl who was all done up? She opens her mouth and starts to look really, really ugly. Again, same with guys. The beauty really IS on the inside.
Perception is NOT reality. LEARN it!
