The doctor said his eyes are fine, but how can a man with sight be so blind?
The priest explained the word of God, but how can a man of religion have such little faith in himself?
The photographer told her that she is flawless, but how can someone with such a gorgeous stature only see ugly in her reflection?
The groom said "I do", but how can a man with so much love lack so much passion behind closed doors?
Her laugh is contagious, but how can someone who only spreads light and laughter be the one without happiness in her heart?

Dear M,
I must agree with Tallquietguy a book is in the offing here. You’ve offered significant insight to each of the personality types you’ve written about and how our covers mask such different innards. Wonderfully written. H🌷
