It was one of those summer days when I was just there in my room, looking outside my window. I really wasn’t really paying attention to my surroundings-only to what I was thinking of at the moment. My brother describes occurrences like these as me drifting off, complete with an odd look on my face, my pupils focused on something only I could see. Anyway, when this happens, it’s because I find myself thinking about things that really don’t concern me, or something I wasn’t a bit worried of in the past- but suddenly, out of the blue, I come to realize that its part of life. Not just of life in general, but also of my life, and sometimes of my personality, too!

What couldn’t see to stop thinking about? It was about people- how they tend to act and present themselves in a certain way to the world- and that old saying, “don’t judge a book by its cover”. I even thought about the people we meet every day- a man who practically have everything anyone could ever ask for; a teenage girl who seems to be very rebellious and angry at the world; or maybe you have a classmate who seems high-and-mighty, one of the people you think you can never reach.

But most of what we think about people are just our assumptions. Don’t you ever wonder if all that they show the world is true or just a mask to hide something that is missing from their life? The man who seems to have everything in the world might be just as lonely as other people- or lonelier. That rebellious girl might just be using that “rebellious image” in order to hide a girl with sadness and pain in her heart. And maybe underneath that tough exterior of you “high-and-mighty” classmate is a marshmallow heart that can hurt easily?

I don’t know what other people call it, but the way I see it, it’s a mask. A mask designed to hide parts of us we don’t want other people to see. To make up for some of the things that are missing in our lives that we don’t wan t other people to notice. Sometimes, in pain or loneliness. Some might think people who wear masks are people who want to be somebody else, pretend to be someone they are not. But when you think about it, these masks aren’t really an attempt to change identity, but something more like armor. It becomes some sort of protection from the harsh realities of life, and from the scrunity of other people. Every decision and failure we make can affect us. So all the loneliness and sadness that come with it are sometimes hidden by a mask that shows the opposite of what we are feeling to the world- hence we can stand up again, chin up and shoulders thrown back to show people the we still have confidence- and to help us get through life the best way we can.

What’s this got to do with not judging s book by its cover? It explains a lot, actually. We should avoid judging somebody on the spot right after meeting them, for one. We also have to remember to be more understanding of other people’s faults, and form opinions of them only after we have gotten to know if that person is only presenting a mask to distract us from what he or she is really like on the inside. This way, their real selves are not in the open to be judged.
