Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? One should never judge a person by its external appearance. Use specific details and reasons to support your answer.

“

Beauty

lies within the

person

and not outside” is a well-known phrase. It has a deeper meaning that

understanding from a broader perspective. Some people if asked would say that they judge a

person

by his or her external

appearance

tells a lot about a

person

. Whereas others believe in judging a

person

based on his or her internal characteristics. As far as I am concerned, I would place my belief in the latter option and I hold the following reasons in its support.

Firstly

, it’s important to consider that we scarcely get any idea about a

person

based on his peripheral

appearance

. So, it’s almost impossible to comment about a

person

true

nature

or

character

. A

person

is better known by his

character

,

nature

and the deeds he performs.

For example

, Gandhi

refers to the speaker or writer

only wore cotton clothes, which is the cheapest fabric, and looked very ordinary. But he has made a mark in the world by his virtues that he believed in

such

as non - violence. He is a renowned personality because he fought a war with

to bring India independence in a non- violent way. To quote another example, I have a friend she doesn’t dress very well, looks very shabby. She is not very appealing externally.

However

, she is the topper of our school the most intelligent girl and has won many accolades.

Hence

it is quite evident we cannot judge a

person

based on their external

appearance

.

Secondly

, a

person

should rest more significance to internal

beauty

rather than external

beauty

. By knowing someone closely a

person

can better understand the true

nature

of a

person

. A

person

is better to be judged by their

nature

because it is a better indicator of a someone’s personality.

it is born in the puddle. To quote an example, a

person

who doesn’t possess virtues like honesty, helpfulness, truthfulness is not a man of good moral, despite being endowed with

beauty

.

Hence

a

person

builds his personality and

character

, not the outside

and

appearance

. In a nutshell, it can be concluded that external

appearance

is only an indicator of outside

beauty

he or she should look for the qualities that one possesses.
