Who Are You - Who, Who, Who, Who

Who Are You - Who, Who, Who, Who

One of my favorite TV shows is CSI. The lead in theme song goes like this:

Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

This gets me thinking Who Are You and Who Am I? I believe I know who I am, but that doesn't mean you see me as I see myself. Since I feel so convinced that I am what I believe I am, I never ask anybody else Who Am I?

The way others see and know me might be very different than how I see myself. I see myself as a friendly, funny, honest, loving, bright and creative person. Others might see me as impatient, not a good listener, not that smart, too opinionated and too left wing.

Sooo, it could mean that I and they don't see I to I. I've always said that when you speak what counts is in the mind of the listener. It's not what you say, it's how someone else "hears" what you say. That's why I always believe "words" matter. Because I'm very honest (with a limited filter), sometimes I'm a little loose with my "words." This could mean others see me as a jerk (nice word for ass-hole).

I don't see myself that way, however, if you ask me how your new outfit looks, you're going to get the truth (my truth): "it looks like shit - take it back. I do this all the time with my wife. Sometimes she agrees and sometimes she says: I love it and I'm not taking it back. I'm sure she is saying in her brain: "what an ass-hole."

Sooo, who are YOU? I really want to know. Tell me, who are you? You should think about it and you should ask others (who you count on to tell you the truth):

Who Are You - Who, Who, Who, Who
