You are your words and deeds.

Is Tom Clancy really Jack Ryan?

If he makes one of his characters an adulterer, is he himself an adulterer?

If he has a character say mean spirited things, does that make him a mean spirited person?

Hi Jewel,

<<Good point. A couple of the people on this thread have proposed that persona does not count some how. This has been used to justify all kinds of mean spirited behavior. However, the words and actions of any individual are the main criteria for defining persona, beyond biomass. Any other criteria are primarily based outside of ones control

I'm with you all the way on the above statement.... :)
