Over the past few years, I have been struggling to find happiness and only recently have I been able to say I am figuring out what exactly true happiness is. One thing that has been helping me find that is getting to know people for the souls that are inside of them. Unfortunately, I have noticed that a good portion of people I meet never make it past their judgments of a person's outward appearance and they miss out on truly getting to know people. People are judged for being too fat, too skinny, too ugly, too pretty, and the list could go on and on. My question is, what person in the world can match our current ideals of beauty and perfection based on appearance? There are not many, and even if there were I have learned that someone can be nearly perfect on the outside, but if their soul is tainted with judgments and preconceived notions then all that "perfection" disappears instantly.
So many people in the world are lonely, and I truly believe it is because of the fact that a lot of people decide if they are going to talk to someone or not depending on how they look. People are not as genuine anymore because being genuine is hard when you are judged before you even open your mouth. I always wonder how different the world would be if this was not the case. I like to believe that if we could see people's souls before making judgments there would be a lot less lonely, unhappy people in the world.
Stop caring about what people look like, how old they are, or where they have or have not been and let their souls speak. You will never have any idea what someone is thinking or why they do the things they do until you ask questions. Figure out what makes their soul happy, sad, motivated, and discouraged, because otherwise you might miss out on a potentially beautiful soul because all you could see was their lack of physical beauty. I promise if you weed out the people who only care about outward appearances and get to know the souls inside, you will start to find genuine people.
"Souls recognize each other by the way they feel,
not the way they look."
