As humans, are we all going to judge a person? Yes, it is in our nature to take how we see a person and automatically assume we know the person’s background or life situation, but in reality, looks are only skin deep and we can’t truly understand a person until we find out their story.

The old saying, “don’t judge a book by its cover” ties in well with this moral view, and it also reiterates that we have to judge a person based on their
