Don't be too quick to judge

Don't be too quick to judge.

We only see people from their outer appearances - from their displays and presentations - from what they want us to see. 

However, the reality might not always be the same. 

Rich people - kings, queens, and billionaires may have everything a person wants to have in their life. 

And yet they might not be happy and content inside. 

On the other hand, some seemingly poor and ordinary people may be quite satisfied in their minds. 

Those - who are eloquent speakers - who speak fluently and elegantly - may not necessarily know everything about their subject - or have personal experience with the contents of their speech.

And those - sitting alone in silence are not necessarily unwise or ignorant.

Perhaps they are wiser - they do not want to waste their energy on talking without any reason.

Those who are always smiling and seemingly enjoying their life, may not be truly happy and content in their minds.

In fact, they might be quite restless and agitated inside.

And those who seem to be wandering around are not necessarily lost.

Perhaps they are going from place to place looking for new experiences - 

to see new things and meet new people - to learn from everyone and every incident they encounter.

As Hazarat Rumi said -

             Na man behooda girde koocha-o-bazar mee girdam

             Mazaaq-e-aashiqi daaram paye deedar mee girdam"

Do not think that I am aimlessly wandering in streets and Bazars without reason - without purpose.
I am deeply engrossed in love - going from place to place to catch a glimpse of my beloved Lord.

Therefore, Don't be too quick to judge. 

The reality might be quite different than what we assume it to be.
