Everybody has internalized popular sayings, old adages, axioms, or idiomatic expressions that friends, relatives, or your parents used to quote...repeatedly! These can often be seemingly trite observations - even "common-sensical" that in fact have much greater meanings hidden unden their veneer, e.g., "Where ever you go, there you are!" With this in mind, please provide an example of when one of these idioms, hit you with an almost blinding, epiphany-like experience - a kind of "enlightenment" when you realized that indeed "Still waters [CAN] run deep."
This is NOT the kind of question that can be answered with two short 'n' sweet sentences... so PLEASE, serious players ONLY! If you're a "get in and get out quick" freak - looking for a quick "2-point pick-up," PLEASE answer another question more suitable for your "needs." Answers for this question should be "anecdotal" in nature... so please honor that request. We can ALL benefit from this, so please give your best effort.
