Sometimes things aren't as they seem

I'm editing my manuscript right now, and part of the book's premise rests on the fact that sometimes things aren't as they seem.

Take a look at the photo above. When I first saw it, I thought it was a herd of horses. Then I looked again. Zebras.

I wonder how much suffering exists in this world by mistaken assumptions. I'm just thinkin'.

What about you? Do you have any thoughts about this?

I like your comment: "I wonder how much suffering exists in this world by mistaken assumptions."

You worked that concept of mistaken assumptions about one of the difficult-to-like characters in "Searching for Spice" who turned out to help the heroine in time of need.

That's right, Susan. I think mistaken assumptions happen all too often.

I think much! One of my pet peeves. That's quite a good photo to illustrate that.
