You Cannot See It by Form
If you seek it by appearance or by sound, you walk a hollow path and cannot see what is true.
Am I missing the essence — of a person or a value — by looking only at appearance and reputation?
📝Reflection
We try to judge everything by what the eye sees and the ear hears — a dazzling exterior, an impressive title, a loud voice. But this verse warns coolly: one who seeks essence by appearance walks a hollow path. The most precious things usually have no form. Someone's sincerity, a person's character, trust built over years — none can be seen or photographed. Yet we price only the visible. The eye that reads the invisible is the eye of a grown soul: not fooled by the flashy, not dismissive of the plain. With that eye, people and life look different.
