Everybody is a book in life, a book that has a story

While we are caught up in the writing of our own story

With us as the protagionist and everyone else characters.

We tend to forget we are but one in 7 billion stories.

Stories that range from struggles, of love, of war, of lost, and of hope, to the protagionists.

We tend to forget that people, who may just be characters in our story, are the main characters of their own.

"Don't judge a book by it's cover". So we have been told.

Yet we tend to be guilty.

The bright illustrations of the cover appear attractive, while the dull plain ones are often ignored.

We tend to be guilty.

From a glance we judge the it, without even daring a look at the pages within the book.

and We are guilty.

How does one expect to understand a character, without having read their story?

How does one expect others to understand our story having only seen our cover?

Are we arrogant?

Are we coneited?

or are we just selfish?

 

It's time we become readers.
