The Beautiful Choice

A kid was judgmental and would like to be around physically attractive people.

His parents convinced him, taught him, and a few times even shouted at him, still, he would bully kids and even adults.

Once the parents were transferred to a different location. They started searching for a house. The mother after seeing a few houses had an amazing idea in her mind.

They finalized two houses and asked the kid to make the final decision.

They took him to both the houses one after the other.

One was beautifully painted and looked attractive and elegant on the outside, the other was not as good, and looked ordinary, with simple white paint, and a wooden gate structure.

However, when the kid was taken inside, the environment was completely different, the big beautiful house was ruined. The construction appeared too old, stinky and dark rooms, walls were damaged, the roof was leaking, toilets were stained and dirty, and the floor was broken from here and there, and there was almost no source of natural light.

Also, the house had only one toilet in four rooms, there were no almirahs fitted inside the wall, the drawing-room was huge and the rooms were small, air outlets and windows were limited.

The kid felt stressed and afraid in that house.

When he was taken inside the simple old-looking house, it was kept neatly, and well maintained, with nice wooden flooring, designer mats, paintings, furniture, fragrance, clean toilets, good lightning, and glasswork, he was left mesmerized by the beauty of the house.

The house had attached toilets for each room, rooms were sized proportionally and didn’t feel claustrophobic as there were multiple windows.

The mother asked, “so son, which house is better? You choose which one?”

The child without thinking chose the simple-looking house.

The mother said, “we had already chosen this one, but I wanted to convey a message to you, that’s why we took you to these two houses. From the outside, you or anyone else would admire that other house and easily ignore this one, however, when one has to actually live in the house for years, they visit inside, see everything, and the outside looks don’t matter much anymore, in fact, you also rejected the better looking house after seeing your comfort and knowing the reality of the inside; the space where you would live in for year's. This is how our senses interact with the world, we feel mesmerized by good looking things and people, they attract our senses, however, the stimulation of senses isn’t our life, we have to look deeper and deeper to make the right choice for the long run.

If you are falling for beauty and judging someone for looks, it’s clearly your shallow judgment causing a loss for you in the long run.

Understand the depth of people before judging them or you may turn out disappointed or regretful in the long run.”

Keep this lesson in mind for life.”
