I wanted to ask this question for a long time so here it is.
Should we judge people by their looks? Should we spend more time with that person before judging them? Are we capable enough to judge others?
Please provide an honest answer. Write what you really think.

That iz an interesting question..:P
Lert me start by saying
Dont go 4 looks they can deceive
Dont go 4 wealth even that fades away
Go 4 some1 dat makes u smile coz it takes only a smile tpo make a dark day seem bright.
I believe dat we all judge some one by their looks even if we know its nt the proper way to know or judge a person but if we stop that bad habit and get to know the person first will all see that it doesnt work like this .
Alwayz know the person b4 u judge them by looks..

Hm.One of my friends who became my friend after two years of communication is a very strange person when you see him for the first time.When I saw him for the first time, I disliked him.There was (and in fact still is) something in him that irritates people around.He may seem dumb,rude,arrogant.I never thought he could be such a nice and helpful guy he is.I think we shouldn't judge, but it's difficult because we SEE first, and then we HEAR and FEEL.

Not at all! Everyone does it all of the time, no matter how much we dont want to! It is just natural to do it.
The key is being able to overcome your judgement. I have met some amazing people because I was able to put aside my first thoughts of them.
Unfortunately, I dont think most people are able to see past that initial impression. They hold onto that forever. I mentioned something along those lines in a discussion the other day about 'a creep old man'. But I was ridiculed for saying that sometimes we just have to see past the jugdements.
The way I look at it is, do I want people to judge me based on how I look? There are some things that I cannot control! It isnt fair to judge me based on that.

Most of us usually will make this mistake-judge people by their looks/ first impression.I would like to share some of what I had experienced.I have a friend whom is my best friend now.Before I really knew her,I thought that she's a selfish girl.But my thought was dissappeared when one day she came to me and comfort me where that time I was very upet.Later,we become true friend until now......so,I think that we should spend more time with that person before judging them.

This is an interesting discussion question and I look forward to reading the other responses. We shouldn't judge anyone based on their looks. This is something that is wrong and we don't have any of the power as a human being in doing so. This is left up to a higher being. Everyone on God's green earth is unique and this is what makes everyone special and one person is different than the other. To sum it up we don't have the capability and the right to judge a person or to even fit them in with a stereotype.
