I know that the saying �You cannot judge a book by its cover,� has been used one time too many. Yet how many have fallen prey to this?
Well I will say it again. Looks can deceive! You look at that pot-bellied man and all you can think of is how loaded he is.
I remember one girl who eloped with some fat guy, whose potbelly was the work of malwa, a local potent brew. She discovered it too late.
Many times, people look innocent. And when they are exposed, you can�t help but wonder where they had hidden their true character.
Agnes, a third year university student confessed that she met her ex boy friend at a club, chatted and exchanged numbers. He looked as innocent as an angel.
A few months into the relationship and she could not believe the kind of monster she had got for herself. The man was a habitual abuser who could not keep a woman for more than a few months. It was only because of her persistence that the relationship lasted for a while.
It is said that not all that glitters is gold. I am not saying that everyone is not what they appear to be. But it pays to scratch underneath the cover of innocence. |
