Guided by appearance, this can be disastrous. In this world of deception and deceit, what is seen outwardly is not reality. Often, the glittering appearance hides the foulness of wickedness. When advertisements, display, and showiness have all become the day of life, the judgment of reality has become very difficult. The good-looking innocent people are the perfect cheats of the day. The only way to save ourselves from such hypocrites is to be very attentive and careful in life, with good observance.

What is exhibited and displayed outwardly should not be taken as creditworthy. Visual appearances are commonly deceptive. The quality of a thing can only be judged by its use. In many cases, a thing that appears to be very durable and cheap may turn out to be a duplicate. Duplicates or imitations commonly have more shine or glitter than the original one.

A person can be judged by his deeds, attitude, and aptitude for showing off to others. A coarse man may be more helpful and cooperative than a person with a pleasant countenance. A well-dressed, gentlemanly-looking person is apt to deceive you by his outward looks. What he intends to show may not be his actual intention. Appearances may be delusory and misleading. Try to ascertain his motives and analyze his actions. Keep a close vigil. What appears to be gold may turn out to be a yellow metal, a polish of gold on iron, or a fake color of gold on brass. So beware of the appearance; judge the things from their original contents. ‘All that glitters is not gold’.
