"Only later did she learn


he kept his best qualities, his wonderful qualities, deeply buried, as if mildly ashamed of them."


Isn't that a great line? It's from the book I just finished - Cemetery Dance, by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. It reminds me so much of Paul - at least the Paul I first met, trying to act cool and confident. I believe many people (lot of them men) are guilty of this.


Why is that? Is it not cool in today's America to be kind? It's cool to be a winner. So people are forced to hide their inner good selves in order to come off as a winner.


Ah pretty deep for a Saturday, I know...
