You can identify fools just by the way they walk down the street!<\/strong>*<\/p>\n

This one from Ecclesiastes comes with a knowing smile, for who hasn’t seen it? What’s most amusing is how long ago this was said. Apparently there truly is nothing new under the sun.<\/p>\n

Here’s a guy, his robe belted precariously somewhere between his buns and his knees, swashbuckling along in his affected superiority. It’s hard to think what he was thinking when he got out of bed at noon and dressed himself, except what a show he’d make. Of course, he’s right.<\/p>\n

Check the expression: the curl of the lip, the droop of the lids, the mouth in perfect sullenness. How about the shoulders, nicely sloped, along with the spine, and a handshake that feels like spaghetti.<\/p>\n

But he’s cool.<\/p>\n

Not that the male gender has the whole corner on that market. It’s pretty common to notice a woman, young or old, who seems to think she’s projecting one thing but is actually revealing another . . . the state of her mind.<\/p>\n

Funny about our fallenness, we don’t see our self-deceptions but everybody else does.<\/p>\n

What’s inside always comes out, even in the way we walk.<\/p>\n

Best to just be sure the mind is straight, then so will be the gait.<\/p>\n
