Should we care that much about what other people think about us?



Good reputation is like a crown, but it is visible mostly to only those who know you well enough...

If you happen to do something good, your action might appear offensive or bad to some people even though that was not your real intention. Think about the other day when you probably acted without thinking,  you gave a bad/degrading look to someone without thinking about it and it just came out naturally. Do you understand?

One day you probably have to find yourself doing something you should not do but you might have strong personal reasons to do so at that time (Kill someone, steal something in an emergency, violate a red light, get on a fight to defend your family, etc) People passing by, friends of you, people who know you might judge you when they see you doing whatever thing you are doing but what anyone doesn't know is the “Why of your actions.” People cannot see or even think about the circumstances you are going through. 

I’m not intending to justify your bad actions. Some people call good actions to what really is bad for the majority of people. All I know is that       what has been set as right will always lead you to the best results.

My conclusion and opinion is just simple. Care little about what other people say/think about you and let your good actions demonstrate what you really are. Remember that people will always remember what they see you doing badly more than your good and small but important actions. Care more about what God thinks about you, He knows you very well and by name, He knows the sincere and selfish desires of your heart more than anyone else in this world and at the end, His judgment is the one that will really count.
