I was a bit disappointed when in November the harmattan still hadn’t surfaced, playing hide and seek.
Instead of harmattan people complained of heat and hot weather. Who would have thought that till the second week in January the harmattan will be fully out?
As I write this, I realize that just as I have misjudged the season and the year a lot of times we misjudge people, circumstances and situations.
We see something odd and surprising about a particular thing , person or circumstances and we are quick to sum it all up and judge. A lot of talents, gifts and opportunities have been lost because we fail to dig deep, we fail to clean up the mud and see the gold, we fail to see the diamond beneath.
If late Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s ability to pass messages across through his ‘Afrobeat’ songs had been denied because of his appearance and lifestyle we wouldn’t have some of the legendary songs we still listen to today. Who would have thought that America would ever have a black man as president? There have been angels amongst us and we have failed to notice because of the ways they have appeared to us.

A lot of people have missed help, opportunities because they have judged a book by its cover. The same way we won’t assume a roadside mechanic is a madman, let us stop drawing conclusions based on outward appearances.

Very true and I don't think the habit of judging a book by its cover or people by their appearances will stop any time soon,. Great post...

I once wrote a blog post about this.. How I was a poster boy for a company some years ago... I discriminated amongst pedestrian who looked like "potential buyers" of my product. As such, anyone who dressed shabbily didnt get fliers from me. Lol.

Excellent advice, @ponmile! It is true, that if we judge people before we know them we may an opportunity to learn something and gain a new friend.

When we judge people too quickly, we won't have time to love them. God always use the foolish things of the world to confound the wisdom of the wise. Thanks for this timely reminder.
