Did god set any standard to judge people on the basis of their Outlook or appearance? Actually No! Prejudice, discrimination, racism and judgement by external appearances have plagued humanity for centuries. God does not show partiality or favouritism, it's a human phenomenon of discriminating people on the basis of gender, colour, religion, looks etc. Clothes don't make the man! One can't find the real worth of a person just by seeinghis external appearances rather it's the talent or extraordinary qualities that reflects the true personality of an individual,just like the nightingale, who ain't as beautiful other birds but still possesses the most melodious voice. Also, there are people who always have a smile on their face and walk with a spring on their feet but their smile may turn out to be a deceit because there is hurricane of thoughts that are bothering them but still they pretend that they are happy.

The discrimination on the basis of colour has been an issue in so many countries. Like, the revolution that took place in Africa was a result of racism, The American minister and civil rights activist, Martin Luther King Jr, spent his entire life fighting against rascism and even Indians were tagged as 'Blacks' by the Britishers, but this colour hardly had any connection with the efforts of people and the government, due to which India today has emerged as one of the fastest growing economy.

Have you heard the popular story of a stag? Who once after seeing his reflection in the pool of water, felt proud of his horns as they were beautiful and felt sad about his legs. But later when the lion came close to rip him apart, So, he took to his heels and the lion was left far behind. The stag heaved a sigh of relief. But unluckily, his antlers were caught in a thicket. He tried his best to be free but could not. The lion, in the meantime, had come quite near again.

The stag now cursed himself for condemning his legs and praising his horns. But what could he do now. The lion overtook him and tore him to pieces. So it's important to not to get influenced by external beauty because "not all that glitters are gold".
