While staring at a person,we can describe whether he is tall or short,fat or thin,even by the uniform he is wearing,if there is one,we can judge which career he is working in.However,just through these external oppearances,can we definite a person,including his character,culture and moral?Of course not.
First of all,the external appearances can't express the internality exactly.It may has no relationshio between these two.As what I just said,if a tycoon takes off his uniform and has a shirt on,by his common clothes,can you realize he is the one who own a power to command hundreds of thousands of soldiers?So is the surgeon wearing sports suit instead.
Futher more,inspecting in different parts of the appearance lead to different conclusion.It is just coincident with the implication of the fable named"Blinds touch an elephant".According to those blinds,the elephant can be anything but an elephant.How fallacious!The judgement can be great distinct by different people,different viewpoint,with different angle.And these differences may sometimes lead to mistake.
When I first came into my middle school,I met a new teacher of math.His icy face,harshness mustache,espacially his strictness in the class made me scaared.And I even begin to detest math.Yet,after a pinic together,I change my mind forever.He is such a kind,gental and throughtful person,that we become friends and keep in touch with each other till now.If I didn't have the opportunity to find out what kind of person he is in deed,I will never have a friend-like teacher.
Every person has both externality and internality,the latter appears far more complex and wonderful.Unless we consider both together,we should never judge one person dogmatically.
