SEE DEEPER

There is a unique restaurant that serves food for its guesses in the middle of darkness. They intentionally close the guesses eyes and shutdown the room light so that no one will see the food or other guesses, except the waiters.

Most guesses have difficulties in taking their food and bringing it into their mouths, and sometimes spilling out their food or drink because they definitely can't see a thing. They might be able to talk about what kind of food they're eating with other guesses but most of them feel amazed about how good a food taste when they can't see it. (The owner said that a food look/appearance can influence its consumer to create a certain perception about the taste. When people are blindfolded, they can't create any (negative) perception about their food except enjoying it. When their eyes are no longer functioning, the other senses will become sharper, including the tongue, so that it can taste food better than before.)

It sounds amazing to know that we can enjoy a more delicious taste from simple food when we are blindfolded. If it always works, I think I will keep my eyes closed every time I eat. But that is not what I'm going to talk about. Don't you think the same way works when we judge others. When we first meet people, we often try to make a prejudice about them through their appearance. We can easily decide whether a person is good or not through his look. Well, unfortunately the judgement isn't always right. We can do find a lot of goodness in people who don't look good. (I hope you can understand what I mean.)

Certainly, appearance is not a good standard in showing about people (although sometimes it can give us a right judgement, but the fact isn't always like that). We are demanded to see something deeper than just outer look. God can see whether someone is good or not, not from his appearance, but from his heart. (Some people perhaps will say, "But how can I see someone's heart? I'm not God!") That's why we need His wisdom to enable us to see what's inside someone's heart, and let us stop judging people from their looks.
