Which of these kids is most like you? Think about it a minute before giving your answer.

Have you thought about it? Do you have an answer? If you do, shame on you! Sorry for fooling you with a trick question, but how could you possibly know which child is more like you just by looking at a picture? To answer this question at all is to judge people based on their appearance, which if you think about it, makes no logical sense.

Maybe the child that +looks+ most like you shares none of your interests. They might have a completely different personality…one that clashes with yours. On the other hand, you might get along great with the child that looks most different from you. The two of you might share many of the same likes and interests, and become the best of friends.

What matters is what people have on the inside, not what you see on the outside. But if you spend your time judging people based on their appearance, you’ll never get to know what lies beneath!
The end!
