"What you are will show in what you do."
{ Thomas A. Edison }
You can write and you'll be seen as a writer. You can play music and be seen as a musician. You can draw and seen as an artist.
Or, you can kill and steal and be known as a killer or a thief. You can lie and be seen as a liar. This is the process of cause and effect. It is the outcomes of what we do or say, and gradually determine and illustrate who we really are. We must also take in mind, that appearances can strongly deceive. We must take in mind that our external image may be mistaken.
