How can we not? It is the first thing we see and most, judge, unfortunately.

Very true. We just need to stick around to look underneath the surface.

Absolutely. At least let them speak – if it’s nonsense, then hey… 😉

That’s why it’s so important that we look beneath the surface to see the real person.

True. Still some of us have grown to look past ribbons and wrappings. To see if there is anyone inside and who they might be.

While true, I think this is sad, Pam. We need to look beyond the packaging.

I remember watching an old B&W movie of Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, where he asked her what was the first thing she noticed about someone walking toward her. The inference was that she was some air-head bimbo who couldn’t put two coherent words together if she tried. But not our Kate. She answered, in her inimitable style, “Whether it’s a man or a woman.” Shut him down right there! 😀
