My take on Gibran's ~ Garments

When the twins of both sides of the coin were born they took two paths.

As they grew apart in their own worlds one grew impatient. not caring for anything other than to feed his greed. Walking over others to reach his goals and grew ugly.

His twin walked a different path through life. He was patient to wait for all things to fall into place naturally. He shared what he could with others along his way, treating all with respect. He grew to be a very beautiful person.

The twins never the less where twins. They continued to have a relationship and visited with each other.

There was a day that they decided to go for a swim. They left their clothing on the bank and enjoyed their swim together.

This day, ugly had tired first and decided to leave. He looked upon his brothers clothing and decided those were for him and others would treat him better thinking that he were his brother beautiful.

Upon leaving the water, beautiful discovered that his own clothing was missing and what was left was his brothers. Too modest to walk naked back to his house he dressed in his brothers clothing.

Many who looked upon them and the clothing they were wearing thought precisly what the ugly brother had hoped.

Those who beheld the face of the beautiful twin recognized him regardless of the clothing.

Those who came across the other saw his ugliness for what it was as the grandest raiment could not cover it.
