Our personna, to the world, is what others perceive us to be, not who we believe ourselves to be.

The Measure of all People By Franklin Price 5/23/2018 The measure of all people Not in their stature or their size. It's how they're observed by others, How they're seen in others' eyes. How they treat and how they're treated, In their actions day to day. Would others follow in their footsteps; Allow them to lead the way? Would others like to get to know them And consider them a friend? When they're no longer with us, Will the memories never end? For the good and bad among us Be we many or just one That's the measure of all people When everything is said and done It really is that simple. I've told you all I can. How you relate to others Measures a woman or a man.

So true, Franklin, we tend to measure ourselves against such impossible standards but you have simplified things nicely. Well done.
