a copy of a copy

some people are self-defined.

by this I mean, they change their surroundings,

and while their surroundings, of course, effect them (how could they not)

generally, they will walk into a black room, paint it white

and walk out with a little white paint on them.

why?

because they just painted the room.

then

there are people who are defined by their surroundings

they will walk into a black room and notice how everything is black

instead of painting it white

they paint themselves black.

they have no self-identity.

year, by year, by year they are transformed by the people they surround themselves with.

I can not begin to imagine living like this.

I can not imagine living like you.
