All that Glitters is not Gold. Cfr. The Dutch saying:
Het is niet al goud wat blinkt
(=schijn bedriegt).
Idiom Saying
Said about something that seems to be good on the surface, but might not be when you look at it more closely
Cambridge Dictionary
We may be deceived by pretty faces and attractive packages that may only look good but reality often reveals their true worth.
We kunnen misleid worden door mooie gezichten en aantrekkelijke verpakkingen die er misschien alleen maar goed uitzien, maar de realiteit onthult vaak hun ware waarde.
Sisters!
Don’t marry a guy just because he prays 5 times a day.
Pay attention to:
- How righteous they are.
- How they act when they’re angry.
- How trustworthy they are.
- How fair they are.
- How truthful they are.
1 The cruelty beggared belief
Perverting the course of justice. Just like that, there are various factors at play.
- The justice system is being dragged into an easily debunked ‘cock-and-bull story.’
- It is incomprehensible that there’s never an insight into the absence of a case.
- Primarily, we’re dealing with an inherently flawed justice system
- Additionally, lawyers who are absolutely worthless.
- Innocent individuals are flawlessly implicated and their lives destroyed (The Brisch Post Office).
- As professionals who see what is going on,
- they remain silent and are at least swept along instead of stopping the wrongdoing.
- But if it’s sickening false statements that are unsupported and have no connection to actual data…
Het is verkeerd dat het rechtssysteem een pion wordt in een situatie waarin ‘alles een leugen is’.
A perversion of justice, om verschillende redenen.
- Justitie wordt meegesleept in een makkelijk te doorzien verhaal.
- Het is onbegrijpelijk dat men niet ziet wat er aan de hand is.
- Het is een gebrekkig rechtssysteem.
- Advocaten die niets waard zijn.
- Vlekkeloos onschuldige mensen worden beschuldigd, hun leven wordt verwoest (The Post Office).
- Professionals die doorzien wat er aan de hand is,
- zwijgen en worden op zijn minst meegesleurd in plaats van het foutieve gebeuren te stoppen.
- Misselijkmakende valse beweringen, zonder verband met feitelijke gegevens…
The cruelty beggared belief:
it conveys that the cruelty described is so extreme or unbelievable that it surpasses what one could imagine or comprehend.
