They really see through what does not fit into their scheme of things.

Ah, that's worthy of quoting, Caren. I believe that!

That's right, other people look and still can't see, either through lack of understanding or choice, thought-provoking. Thank you, Milt.

Exactly! I say this to my husband all the time, then I realized I don't always hear when he speaks. Thanks for making me more aware.

How TRUE. Just this morning, I read a quote from John Steinbeck: "I wonder how many people I've looked at all my life and never seen." Your Epigram is spot on! Love it! :) Paulette

Thanks, Paulette. I must remember that Steinbeck quotation...better stated than mine, actually, but with a slightly different context.
