Social Media Hot Tub

The new media is what we make it. Aren't we all just so many fat men in a tub?

Who are you?

Can one truely say who they are? Aren't we all really just how other people see us? I strive to be a good person, but it would be the person I did right or wrong by that would have more to say on that than I ever would. We can only work to be that which we see in others which we would like them to see in us.

That's maybe more than I was asking, but hey! I like that my little call to action elicited this bit of soul searching.
But to answer, yes, I think one can say who he or she truly is. Probably that person would be the only qualified voice on the subject.
And as far as those we may have wronged or done right by, their assessment may be valid, or it may not be. If we hurt someone in the interest of preserving our own personal boundaries, for instance, that doesn't make us a bad person - even if the slighted party felt that to be true.
But, Joel, I do like your self reflexive analysis: "We can only work to be that which we see in others which we would like them to see in us." It's rather Zen.
Thank you.

But if one made a mistake, such that the guilt from such was carried as a burden for years. What recourse would a person that was cunfused or lost and made a mistake like this have? However good that person can be, there will always be the haunting of the past, thoughts of that slighted person. Rarely can you fix such a thing.
