Nothing Is As It Seems

This, I think, is the one Universal Theme in Literature - and in Life. eg You'd think a Caesar was smart, but Augustus sent his troops into Germany in 9 BC and lost them all. What a schmuck. This is also why `American Beauty' is the 2nd-best movie ever made. Because all the major characters are the opposite of what they first appear. Also, clowns seem really happy, but I bet secretly, they're really crying on the inside.
