“Not All That Glitters Is Gold,” Is A Popular Phrase, But What Does It Teach Us?
Some Things Can Only Be Superficially Attractive
Gold is a precious metal and rare, making it very expensive
In the markets, some metals are sold widely which look like gold. Do not be deceived, that does not make them Gold.
This is another way of telling us that in this world, non-living or living things that look good may not be all that good.
“All that glitters is not gold” Is this proverb still viable today? Everywhere there are bad deals and scams especially in the financial world, making this saying still viable.
In nature, a person may appear extremely friendly and warm initially. In reality, the case may be different.
In nature, behavior and looks can be deceiving. Look, the outer and inner appearance of a person is related, this can either be bad or good.
The symbol of this proverb is that what is good from within is not necessarily beautiful from the outside. Behavior, manners and nature are the inner qualities of a person.
Beauty and good looks refer to outer qualities. You will always be happy if you judge a person from their inner beauty.
