In this world (and probably the next) things
are not always as they seem. No matter who we think we are, we may/definitely appear different to the rest of the world.
What is love within one may simply be affection within another, what is a means of transportation to someone may be a traffic obstacle to somebody else. What is good
may be awesome or awful or just odd.
Who can say?
