We are like mannequins, we dress to impress. The robes we wear distinguishes us from others, but it has no relationship to our character, honesty or human dignity. It’s just decorative, it’s only a ploy. We have to unwrap people the same way we unwrap gifts, layer by layer. Humans are duplicitous, we have to lean on our intuition.
