Fool-ism

                       I have found no clear calibration that would register the "scope and measure" of a man-- ANY man .    The HUGEST Obstruction is the not-quite-gentle admonition :  "Judge not lest YE be judged" .     As children we heard :  "Do NOT judge a book{man} by its cover{his or her apparel}" -- a GENERAL Rule that generates Suspicion with regard to the Circumstances 'at hand' .    Here's the "Thing-about -THAT"  :   We MUST "Judge a book by its cover" because THAT `Satisfies` [the] PRIMAL Instinctuality*,,, a one which  DEMANDS 'Recognition' of "Friend or Foe" .    Note here that this "Instinct" is one of "Self-Preservation"-- the one of Self-Protection .    FOOLISH  it wood* be to openly Trust  ANYONE  just because of the way they 'look' --- but in America ,  Foolish Trust is a "Way of Life" .
