Character vs Outlook

Let us consider a cow.
A milkmaid considers a cow as an animal that gives milk for her living.
A calf considers her cow as her mother.
A farmer considers her as Goddess and pray for well-being.
A butcher considers as to how much meat a cow can supply.
A belt-maker considers how much skin can be used.

So, the properties/characters of an object changes from the perspective of how it is looked at or who looks at it. But the object might have all the properties/characters.

Message: People spend too much time worrying about what others might think about them or consider them. That is not needed. Do not give much importance to it. Just have it as a small thought somewhere in your brain. 
As a matter of fact, many would be having only these thoughts, thoughts about themselves and may not even be thinking about you
