Don't Judge a Book by its Cover

The English idiom "don't judge a book by its cover" is perfect for this situation. The homeless man was judged as being a "shady" man. The truth, he was a nice guy that was just trying to live his life the best he could. In essence we are all trying to be our best self's. Along the journey of life we find that we get judged. Some will be offended, other will think nothing of it, and many dwell on it way too long.

"Life is perfect for none of us.

Rather than being judgmental

and critical of each other,

may we have the pure love of Christ

for our fellow travelers

in this journey through life."

~Thomas S. Monson~

President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
