The Cover

Outside appearance is very deceiving and as the saying goes: "you cannot judge a book by its cover". The external part, whether of a house, a thing or a person is usually the polished part. What is behind the shiny facade is always a big question mark.

In fact it is not very infrequent that the heavily made-up face is usually the defective one just like the heavily painted house. A very glamorous sala sometimes compensates for a very untidy rooms just like a very beautiful person who actually is nursing a lot of insecurities.

Likewise, the very showy religious are commonly the hypocrites in the community. They are the ones who are so vocal about great projects and so extravagant when giving out parties.

In any gathering, the noisiest is usually the one who has few accomplishments; the boastful are those with several frustrations in life. In any sector of society there is always someone very loud and easily noticeable; someone extraordinarily active in his subconscious attempt to be seen and heard.

In fairness, there are those few that look good, do good, feel good and are truly good. No matter how few they are, it is good to see them around.
