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
