Not A Peep-All Person

we tend to evaluate people based on their outward representations of who they seem to be

what "education" or degrees they may have, what objects they own, how adept they are at some esoteric skill

we equate material "accomplishment" with human worth, often neglecting to appreciate the underlying qualities that are admirable

while it is our acts that most explicitly reveal our nature to others, it is not our acts that define our nature

appreciating people for who they are, and not what they do, allows us to experience the true spirit of others and to see every person as valuable and remarkable

lesson: there's much more than what's seen.

I appreciate you Devan and Alex
