Saturday ... at least I think it was Saturday ... Verg pops up on me rather annoyed that, while she was gone, I referred to her as having the coldest heart on fsw. I maintained that I was right; from what we knew of her at least, which is really all that matters. She responded that I was wrong; that who she was, or who she believed she was, was more important than what we believed she was.
She demanded to know why I said that. I didn't have an answer for her, but I think I do now. Running western blots gives you a lot of time to think.
Food for thought: does how we act towards others define who we are, or does who we are define how we act towards others? Is it a combination of both? (ed. note: The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks. [Lk. 6:45])
Who's more correct about who we are, ourselves or others? If we have an image of ourselves in our head, and someone (honestly) tells us that who we appear to be is completely different, are we right or are they? Neither? Both? Somewhere in between?
I'm opening this up for discussion, because I think it's an interesting topic. I'm curious to see what your responses will be.
I've also posted this on TNB, for those of you who know what that is. For those of you who don't, look over at my links section. See "The New Buzz"? If you want to see what people who don't read my blog think, you can go here and view responses. You can even post responses if you want; no registration required.
This should be interesting.
