Through Bigoted Eyes

As imperfect humans, we judge perceived on what our eyes see It's a mistake many of us make, and not based on a heart's purity. A trait that shows we are prejudiced and biased against others of different races and religious beliefs, of our sisters and brothers. We were all created in the image and likeness of our Father, God. To realize a person's value, we must look deeper than their facade, but we label people by appearance without personal interaction. Iniquitous of our subconscious to let outward looks be an attraction. Were that all eyes were blind to a beautiful face or a muscular form we would treat each other with a demeanor more pleasant and warm. Too often we don't bother trying to learn what's in a person's heart before our minds tell us, "I'm going to tear this unworthy one apart." Shouldn't we look past a person's age, or unappealing physical features? To hold that against them makes us small-minded, bigoted creatures. We're guilty of doing a disservice to good people if we fail to perceive what is undetectable to our eyes. First impressions often tend to deceive.
