...by it's cover.

It's amazing.
Sometimes you don't know how someone is truly feeling,
until you ask them - or they chose to tell you.

Many people have an ability to walk around with a smile on their face,
even though inside they are raging or sad.......
I called it an ability; but with some people it's a complete fear of showing weakness,
or an inability to connect with others and share.

The old saying is right.
You can't always know what someone else is like,
or how they feel by their outward appearance.

We humans are selfish.
If someone isn't crying in front of us, or throwing a plate across the room,
we assume that they are ok.

On the other side, if we feel sad or angry, we should let it show,
and not walk around with it bottled up -
just waiting for a spark to light the blue touch-paper,
and then for some poor unsuspecting soul to suffer the consequences.

We should be more understanding.
More considerate,
and more aware.
