We look but don't always see
We all search for meaning
We connect the dots
We wear rose-colored glasses
We can walk and chew gum- but not much else
We're in the wrong frame of mind
We skim
We like things tidy
Men shoot first
Nobody thinks they're average
We'd rather wing it
We don't constrain ourselves
The grass does look greener.
