    Discuss: "One eats for oneself. One dresses for others."

    Sorta like how birds flaunt their pretty feathers to attract attention...I get it.

    I will admit that I wear my kilt to draw attention to myself sometimes. But otherwise just to be comfortable.

    I had a kid of about 12 or 13 come up to me this weekend and tell me I was the coolest person he had ever seen. Made me feel good. I was wearing my green V-Kilt by the way!

    At one time in my early kilt wearing days, I was asked if I was an exhibitionst, I had to ask what was meant by that and was told that if I wear a kilt for no special occassion that I must be an exhibitionist.

    Granted I do like the looks I get (mostly positive BTW) but it really does wonders for my self esteem, I find that I don't care what others think of the way I am dressed I am going to wear what I want!

    Now for food I also don't care what others think of what I eat, I'll eat what I want!

    I'm thinking about this, I'll probably add something more later but this one thought comes to mind: "If you do something in order to be someone it will never work. If you do something because you are someone it will never fail."

    got to go now, my brain hurts

    That is a semi true statement.

    I eat because I like how the food taste in my mouth, not because the commercial told me to.

    But I don't really dress for others. If I do, I will be in suit and tie every day.

    Jamie,

    You must be thinking too hard. My brain never gets beyond the itching stage.

    What a diaper load! There is very little that we do that is entirely for ourselves or entirely for others.

    Whoever said that has no friends, no family and no self-esteem.
