The things that people see
are inside of them and not
outside. No two people see
the SAME thing exactly alike.
One woman may look out at a
beautiful landscape and see
all the beauty and restfulness
and grandness that there is in
il. Another one will look ont
at the same scene and see
nothing. One will find en-
joyment in a brilliant COM
pany, in music, in dancing, in
an exquisitcly prepared din
ner. Another will enjoy these
things half as much-another
not at all. The things that
people see are inside them.
What one sees and what one
