Answer:

Even though something/someone may look like they are friendly or safe, doesn't make it secure.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just because you see a grenade with its pin pulled out on a battlefield, but it hasn't detonated yet, that doesn't mean it's alright to pick up!

Just because a person asks you to go into their car and they said your mom or dad told them it was alright if you did , that doesn't mean you trust it immediately.

You see what I mean?

Gather your evidence. Scan your surroundings. Be careful. Even if your friends call you superstitious or too cautious. This world is full of crazy people with crazy intentions and you never know what could happen, when.

"Don't judge a book by its cover" also ties in with this, too.)

Hope this helped

Answer:

It means that you can't tell by looking at something if it is something you will ilke or not like or if it is right for the situation. It is similar to the phrase "don't judge a book by it's cover."

This is usually refers to there being much more to people than you can see just by looking at them. The "trust" part of the quote you give may also apply to times when we think we know what we are seeing, but our eyes may fool us. Someone may say, "but I saw it with my own eyes" and still have mistaken what they saw. Once when I was driving, I thought I saw a large bush gliding across a road. I had been up 24 hours and was exhausted. I believed that bushes don't glide across roads, and that there must be some mistake in what I THOUGHT I saw. And then in front of me, the bush turned slightly and the image began to make sense. There had been a small truck in front of me whose bed was loaded full of branches that had been cut from bushes. From behind all I could see were those cuttings. When the road curved, I could see the truck. We can easily be fooled by our eyes. So even when we see something, we should consider there may be more to it.
