Intentions are nice, but it s what we do that truly defines us. It does not matter, however, what Spears s true personality is. All I know of her is the way she represents herself. Therefore, in my world, she is her marketing. And to me, my little world is all that matters.
Credentials are nice, but it s all about how one is perceived by others.
This goes much deeper than superficial pop stars and politicians. Everyone has a public persona. We distrust politicians, not because they lie to us, but rather because we know that they are lying. Whether an action is from our true selves is irrelevant. Action is action.
