Fear

Fear casts a shadow while truth exudes veracity. How we behave under stress opens an aperture to our character: Are we showcasing asininity or deleteriousness? Self judgement is critical at all times. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Layered

Everything we see has layers. Looking for opulence with the eyes is deceptive. The content of a man is not the sum of his financial and social status, his character is what matters. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Listen

Using our ears instead of our mouth is our saving grace. What we hear informs us of the character of the speaker. What we say without thinking either sinks our boat or puts it afloat. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Hot Air

Some of us are skilled at blowing hot air. We create smokescreens as a diversion. Be attentive to character while choosing your friends. People have reasons for wanting to be in your inner circle, you must also determine whether they are worthy of your confidence. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2024

Foresight

Not everyone who say they love you do. There is always a hidden agenda behind the words and actions of some people. Find out what their ambitions are, for therein lies their true character. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2024

Vile

Vile people cannot be transformed. They might change their character as a means of deceit but their pursuit in accomplishing their aims never change. You are just a check mate in their game of chess. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2024

Excuse

If we make excuses for people who commit heinous acts do we consider ourselves pious or is it because we too carry the same despicable seeds? We reveal our character through the choices we make. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023

Change

Have we parsed the things that excites us, makes us throw all of our decorum to the wind. Ultimately, does our undoing help us or does it assassinate our character. Change is possible, for every situation is redeemable. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023
