"Not according to the appearance"

George Shaw Cook

Why are birds afraid of a harmless scarecrow? Because they are deceived by its appearance into believing that it is a person, capable of injuring them, instead of a harmless effigy.

Why are mortals frequently deprived of health, happiness, and success by mental "scarecrows" devised by mortal mind for their discomfiture? Because of their ignorant belief that these false mental pictures of disease, deprivation, disaster, and death are real. If men were able always to detect the spurious nature of these mental images held before their thought by mortal mind, they would not be deceived by them and would not be afraid of them.
