How could one judge another by their every changing moods...when, certainly, we are all comprised of those changes. How dull we would be, and our lives, if we lived with one 'hummmmmmmmming' temperment?

Continue being who you be, Eileen!

An extremely complex question you have posed here ET. In the final analysis, my actions are evidence of what drives me. Temporary displays of disapproval, I agree, do not convey the total persona. I believe it is the ultimate decision we make and the face we then show to the world that is indicative of the true "us". After we are over sometimes impulsive, initial reactions and have had time to reason through what we were reacting to that matters. Provocative poem. I really them.

Feelings can define who we are temporarily. To really get to know a person, you have to live with them. Even then, however, we can sometimes be deceived.

Ya get right in there with this pen Eileen. In my job, first impressions always mean everything. Sometimes we become great at faking it for the sake of marketing. I always find your wisdom thought provoking too.
Love and blessings,

People are too quick to malign each
other,because of one facet they think
defines who we are

How so sadly true, especially in our hustle/bustle modern age, when so many don't seem to have the time to figure anything out.

Ah, what goes around comes around if we are not careful . . . I'm a knee-jerk reaction kinda guy, as you are aware of, even my age hasn't toned that part of me down all that much and I've caught more egg on my face that I care to admit . . .

Eileen, you have stated this perfectly. So many times we are quick to judge others, when we too are guilty of the same types of behavior and reactions.

personally, to me the character or personality is the false personification several layers shallow to the "real" being, who is the core and real self and is whole or one with god, and for me that is an on-going work in progress *laughs*.

People brand people because they want the
view taken off of them. Not me, but them, solution.
Don't we all have mood swing? I do
It's part of life isn't it
I've known you for a long time Eileen, not
in person, but by words.
I believe in you no matter what the mood.
With love,
