2 Faced People

"All that glitters is definitely not gold. In reality, many times it is the fake one that glitters more. Even that broken piece of glass, which can do nothing but cut through flesh and make it bleed, will dance with great glory when sunrays fall and dance upon its surface. But that reflection of prismatic colour doesn't change that wounding piece of glass into gold. So, it is rightly and aptly said that 'appearance is just deceptive.'

Many times, people can put up a false show of kindness, charity, love, compassion, respect, and other kinds of virtues. People even get swayed by the artful pretence of such individuals.
