Little story about images

in a movie
a son who has been abandoned by his mother
and met her in his adulthood to take his revenge from her
is now willing to change his feelings towards her
since he understood the underlying reasons of her abandoning him.

and he said that as his mother has had so far only a bad image of him
and worked with him and came to know him only as an unfair businessman
for it is the only experience she had with him so far

the only way for her to have another image of him
a renewed image of him
and feel him differently when she looks at him
is for him to do her justice in the business area
by giving her back what he took from her when he was taking his revenge

this is why acts/deeds are important
they help us feel different about a person
and this constitutes the experience we gather about this very person
and the image we have of him
and how we sense ourselves when we are in his vicinity

and thus indirectly our deeds of past experienced by the person
we control the atmospher of joy or lack of it

but greater is to not associate ourselves with the reflection of the people in us
but to know who we are.
