A certain color of light

The thing that always fascinated me is that you think you emanate a certain color of light. You are convinced that you are a nice guy, or convinced you are a bad guy, you're convinced that you are terribly complicated, whatever it is, the light that people are looking at is not the same light that you think you are emanating. They see something entirely different.
