I know a number of people whose overwhelming sweetness seemed pleasing at first. Over time I saw that sweetness as actually masking an inability to express what they were really feeling and who they really were. As a result I learned they weren’t safe to trust since I never could discern if what they were saying was what they were really thinking and feeling.

How does one become both strong and sweet?

“Only strong natures can really be sweet ones. Those that seem sweet are in general only weak, and may easily turn sour.”
La Rochefoucauld
