the veiled essence

Appearances reveal a person's past in mere seconds, but their true essence remains veiled. 😶 Their character's depths, desire to live, and capacity for compassion are unknown. When faced with adversity, we cannot predict their reaction—whether violence or benevolence. 🤔💥 Superficial judgments hinder our discovery of the wisdom they carry. Fear closes our minds, amplifying judgment's grip. Let us break free. 🆓 Practice it, as you stroll, glimpsing judgments forming, and swiftly dismiss them as falsehoods. 🚶‍♀️👀 Their outer facade does not define their worth or soul. Extend this practice to ourselves. Let us cease scrutinizing our reflection—eyebrows, noses, bellies, pocketbooks, and bank accounts. These are not our assets, nor our essence. Merely ephemeral costumes we wear. 🔄👥🔎👤👗💼💰🎭
