One can say we are defined by what we do while others will argue that we are defined by who we are. Ultimately we are defined by who we are simply because who we are is part of what we do. One can say “he is the IT guy” while someone else would say “That asshole is the IT guy??” Yes that asshole is the IT guy. He is a asshole first and foremost and as luck would have it, he is also the IT guy. We are just less likely to say “go see the asshole and he will fix your problems.”Only because we are programmed to be politically correct in our public descriptions of others.

We can be described in different circles as different things. Some would call us witty while others would call us dumbasses or lazy. We tend to gravitate towards the groups of people that are kindest to us for it makes us feel better on the surface. But is that best for our inner self? She is pretty, she is smart or she is cranky, she is domineering. Which person would you prefer to be? I have to wonder though if it isnt healthier for us to be around the ones that have a less than positive description for us…. The person who says “you are acting like and ass” may be the one that makes you reevaluate yourself and make changes to make you a better person. I wouldnt want to be called an ass but if I am in deed acting like an ass then why would I want to continue actions that cause needless harm or discomfort to others?

Just another pointless ramble.
