your image?

Do you have an image to maintain? Even if you would say ‘no’, how many people do you know who are doing this, whether they would be eager to admit it or not? Consider the meaning of this statement. An image is not a real thing, only a representation of it, and with this statement it is not likely to be representative of anything real. So why do people go to such great effort to maintain their images? This is a heavy burden that I have not given you. I don’t love your image because it isn’t real, but I do love you. Are you concerned that you will lose the acceptance of those around you if you don’t maintain it? You already have my acceptance which matters more.
