It’s easy to see through clear glass. Hard to hide things from the observer.
Not so for tinted glass. Outsiders looking in can see outlines of things but not all the details. Features of faces inside the tinted glass are blurred, nondescript. I have to use my imagination to fill in the details of things hidden.
What about reflective glass? An outsider can see nothing of what’s inside. She can only see her own reflection, even though she knows someone is probably behind the glass. Watching.
The term “transparency” so widely used these days is usually code for tinted glass. More revealing than reflective glass, tinted glass is not the same as clear glass. Those who wear their transparency like a golden seal of openness are usually the ones hiding something. The details.
On that note, I am considering adding Saturday to my weekly blog schedule starting in Feb. What do you think dear readers? Would you like to hear from me on Saturday as well as Monday and Thursday? You can reply to this email or post in the comments.
