Don't judge a book by its cover

Hello and hope you’re well. :)

So my favourite Italian show has just finished! It’s called ‘Uomini e Donne’ which in English it is literally translated ‘Men and Women’. It is a talk show that witnesses three young people in their twenties (usually 2 guys and a girl) finding true love among the many suitors that come on the show.

It is very interesting to watch how everything may start as a game (it is a TV show after all) but eventually real feelings surface and people do fall in love with each other. 

The reason people love the show so much is cos even though it is televised, it’s real life: these are normal people and not celebrities; you grow with them over the period of 5 months, picking favourites and deciding who could be the best pick for them



That was to give you a little context to what I am about to say. The reason I am writing this is to draw attention to something one of the suitors said before coming to the show.


He said: “ Damn it boy. Don’t fall in love with a girl cos she has a nice bum or a 34GG.

Don’t fall in love with her just for her curves, because with time those will fade.

Rather, fall in love with the smell of her skin, with the feeling she gives you when she smiles.

Fall in love with her hugs and cuddles. Fall in love with her imperfections, make them unique and special. Catch her very essence, be drunk on her soul. Don’t look at her shape, dig into her soul and get to the centre of her heart.

Fall in love with all this cos you will eventually realise, they are the only things that will remain forever. "

This was said from a guy that was covered in tattoos and piercings that people judged straight away as not being serious.

He eventually was the guy that won the girl's heart and took her home.

My purpose is to be like God in all I do. He says: 'man looks at the appearance but I look at the heart." (1 Samuel 16:7). 

The guy was talking about love but we could extend that quote to any other area that involves dealing with people.

Let's learn to not judge people by how they look but let's dig deeper.
