For Some, the Veil Is Clear

For some, the veil is clear.
For others, it's opaque. 
For most, in the middle; 
Somewhere between real and fake.

Through this veil, we see the world.
Through this glass, we view our life.
Through this filter, is reality;
A mix of happiness and strife.

So you might never know, how one looks at the world.
So you might feel content, while others aren't at peace.
So unless you take an effort, to see through others' veils;
The world will be in torment and the conflict will not cease.
