to partake in deep thoughts Relishing the surface of things I see outer beauty and appreciate it Questioning not what I see believing that my eye can behold beauty I was approached and judged for enjoying things I see a deep thinker said "there is more to it" I cared not for this "more to it" I enjoy it allow me to be shallow I am happy with the low tideWww@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: As one who ponders things like the reason for the origin of the universe, and who created God, and how will it all come to an end, I can say with certainty that I enjoy a pretty scene, a lovely woman, a good hamburger, and most other shallow pleasing things in life!.
