JUDGE DEM BOOKS BY DEM COVERS

Ugh. How many times have you heard "Don't judge a book by its cover!!!" whenever you make an assessment of someone by how they look?

A fucking lot.

Here's the problem with that statement. WE JUDGE BOOKS BY THEIR COVERS.

You pick up a book that looks good in the book store. Then you read the cover. If you like it, you buy it. If you don't, you don't.

Here's the OTHER problem with that statement. IT'S WRONG.

I'm not saying anyone can somehow divine the innermost workings of someone's soul by what shirt they threw on that day. But YOU DECIDE WHAT YOU WEAR, and what is someone's personality but a group of decisions?

Someone's appearance is defined by several key things:
A) how much money they have
B) where they went to shop
C) where they go for haircuts
D) how well they bathe
E) how well they exercise, eat, and sleep

Let me throw on some examples:

1) If some kid has dyed his hair a really fake looking black, spikes it up in the back, and sweeps it down in front of his eye, THAT GUY IS A FAGGLE AND I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM.

2) If some jackass has shaved his head, grown out a big full beard, and wears nothing but denim and flannel, THAT GUY IS A FUCKER.

3) If for any reason someone has a tattoo on their face, a beer belly, and I can see their underwear THROUGH their pants, THEY ARE A TERRIBLE PERSON AND SHOULD BE PUT TO DEATH.

4) If someone has stitched together a shirt they made out of old clothing, and patched on logos from local bands that the person went to see, THAT PERSON IS MY HERO.

BOTTOM LINE
The cover of a book is just like the covering a human being. It's there to advertise and synopsize the contents. If someone's outside doesn't match their inside, it's not your fault for not seeing the dysfunction. It's theirs for not putting some goddamned effort into it. Your appearance is defined by decisions, and your personality is defined by your decisions, so please, JUDGE MORE BOOKS BY THEIR COVERS.
