swans

Following on from yesterday's post I'd like to the refer to the common example of the swans:

On the glass like lake they glide, serenely
Yet from below fish see webbed feet, paddling like fury.
From the outside the human looks complete, stable.
On the inside they may battle, emotions in turmoil.

Thus, no good may come from judging oneself in comparison to the seemingly level headed other; you can never know exactly what it's like on their inside.

This is a little like thought for the day really (except I post in the evening...)
