A deeper story...

W. H. Auden writes -

"Behind the corpse in the reservoir, behind the ghost on the links,
Behind the lady who dances and the man who madly drinks,
Under the look of fatigue, the attack of migraine and the sigh
There is always another story, there is more than meets the eye."

One of the ways we usurp the place of God is by deciding that we know a person's story from our preliminary impressions of them. God help us to withhold judgement from those that actually we know so little about. May we love as we have been loved.
