Proverbs

Never judge a book by it's cover

I totally agree with this proverb. Very often we have misconceptions of something, because we focus on it's appearence and overlook it's content. Our misjudgments can cause different misunderstandings, misinformation and disadvantages. Our misbeliefs are our weaknesses. When we are ill-informed we can make unforgivable mistakes. It will be harmful not only for us but for others. Even the most relieble plan can misfire due to under-esteemating situation because of wrong impression. On the other hand we can overrate something and truth will be very painful for us.

Many hands make light work

My mother always says that two heads are better than one. I wont retell all her usefulunforgetable pieces of advice, but I was never ill-advised. The meaning of this proverb is a bit different, but I always associate them. The predominant idea is that it's easier to manage to do something with someone's help. Almost like in Communist ideology which came from Marxism-Leninism. But politics is far away from people's interactions. It's simply better to do something with a partner. And it's important not to overdo, because too many cooks spoil the broth. Somebodies help will be never depreciated, it can't be replaced, it can't be useless. We can do everything and reach outstanding productivity, but only with our friends' help.

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones

Very often some people say unpleasant things. And very often they should've reappraised them. Such sort of reconsideration can prevent lots of arguments and misunderstandings between people. Because it's unfair to criticise others if you have the same problems. It's immoral. Despite the fact that principles of morality are tought at school we can't observe reduction of examples of such behaviour. It's a classical situation when you are blamed for the fault which is not completely yours. What is the solution then? If only I knew...
