What if you got a gift bag and you filled it with pretty tissue paper and put a beautiful bow on the outside? BUT...you didn't actually put a present inside the bag. It sure is pretty. Decorated just gorgeous. BUT..it's empty. Pretty much a waste isn't it? What's the point of it? Would you want that …
