Journal Entry 65 Title: Below the Surface

I sometimes discover that a person has a different personality than from what I had expected. Once, I met a person at school. At first glance, I thought he would be a weird boy because he looked weird. I based that judgment on his surface and appearance. However, when I get to know him better, I found out that he was not weird at all. He turns out to be a very fun and interesting person. We became good friends, and we had a lot of fun at school together. He was totally different from the person in my imagination. I had put my judgment onto his personality, and that turned out to be completely wrong. Afterwards, I felt guilty. I didn’t think it was very nice to judge him before I met him. If I really believed that he was weird, I wouldn’t have made such a friend like him. Now, even his appearance had a different view to it. Because I know his personality now, his appearance changed accordingly. I think that if everyone judge people based on what they see on the surface, then many people would have their personality unknown to the public, and no one would care about who you really are.
