Don't Worry About Your Image

Image is passing.  It is temporary.  Be more concerned about your reputation.  Be more concerned about being a person who is not cruel, jealous, furious, bitter, injurious,  or a hater.  Some people have a hard time growing up. They get stuck in a period of adolescence that they cannot undo.  They need help, encouragement, guidance and reality checks.  But they will not seek the aforementioned.  Why? You guessed it. Because seeking same, they worry that they will tarnish their image. Image?  Image, image, image. "Image is everything".  No way!  It is a poor substitute for the real thing.  Give it its due, but do not allow it to control you.  Let it stay where it truly belongs:  in art and photography classes. Enjoy the images in the various museums and other places of entertainment.  Enjoy movies, fireworks and the various art forms. You are not an art form.  You are a real human being.  Of course, for some, that is more than reason enough to project an image.  A mannequin does the same thing. For the same reason.
