The whole theme of my blog is how people see other people, whether they are "beautiful" or not so this assignment for this week was perfect. The picture I found was a girl standing, holding a sign that says "You look at the scratch and fail to see the diamond." This is beyond perfect for my blog and it explains everything in just eleven words what I want y'all to see in this blog. When we meet people, we always point out everything wrong before we point out all of the good. We see all of their imperfections before their perfections and and once we see something that we don't like, it's over; we usually don't give them a chance.
This photo is screaming at us stop judging people because you are FAR from perfect yourself. It makes me think what right do you have to judge people? What makes you so more perfect and better than me? No one is better than any one else. I don't believe that we will ever be able to completely stop judging people because we do it without even realizing it but we can definitely make ourselves stop looking at others as a lower being than we are and start to see others as our equal, to stop only looking at the scratches and start looking for the diamond in everyone.
I found a quote that I want to leave y'all with. I know most of y'all have already heard this quote many times, but it is still one of my favorites:
“Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I'm not perfect -and I don't live to be- but before you start pointing fingers... make sure you hands are clean!”- Bob Marley.
Katie.
"Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight." -1 Peter 3:4
I really enjoyed reading your blog post! It is so true that people see the imperfections before they see the true beauty and so no one is ever fully satisfied with themselves. Girls are constantly trying to lose weight, dye their hair, put on make-up and wear certain clothes just to impress people and make people see them as beautiful when, in the end, true beauty is found within. I loved the picture you chose for your blog and good analysis of the rhetoric! Also, I loved the verse! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteThis photo goes along really well with your inquiry area. I especially like the fact that the girl is an unidentified character, it really makes the viewer think about how they would view her and if they would only see imperfection if they were to meet her and gives the message that much more meaning.
