Not all who wander are lost

Appearances... I consider it to be the things that we see and perceive on a daily basis. It can be the way people dress; the way they behave or maybe the way people talk. It forms our perceptions. We judge individuals by what we see. We automatically make up a "scenario" in our head based on the different things that we see. For example if we see a teenage girl with a toddler in a baby clothing shop; we might think that she is his/her mother. But in fact; she might be her older sister with their mom at the cashier... This is just an example; but there are so many situations like this that we encounter everyday.

Things are not always as they appear. What we see can mislead us. The sentence "Not all who wander are lost" brings to mind the fact that "everything that shines is not gold". We should not always trust appearances because they can be misleading.
