Discrimination

Comment on the following statement:
Oh, Great Spirit, keep me from ever judging a man until I've walked in his moccasins.

in my opinion, this sentence means that people can not judge people by outward appearance. it likes we can't judge a tree by its bark. appearance can be very deceptive.Some people who have good outlook may not be nice guys,while some who have average outlook may be very nice persons for you to make friends with.You need to judge all of this with your social experience,even instinc. there is an example, one old guy came to my uncle's motel to fix the cropper. He dresses in plain clothes and drives an old car. i think he is a poor man, but my uncle introduce him to me. he has 2 building management  at downtown montreal. . he has 7 wife in total, but he lives alone now. i think his whole life is miracle. .judging people by external appearance is superficial and often unfair. after all, you don't know what circumstances the person might be facing or who the person really is. perhaps the person comes from a less fortunate family than you and cannot afford the kind of stylish clothes your friends wear. however, that does not mean the person is less intelligent or interesting than you are. people should not be naive about new people they meet, but should take time to get to know them. external appearance often does not tell us anything about a person. judging someone by their appearance is misleading, reinforces stereotypes, and is limiting. doing so could prevent you from making a true friend.
