things people say about you

I always thought I would not care what others said about me. I still think that is true - but only to a certain extent - in that I will not let it affect my actions. I find though, that its a slight mood downer, to know that others are ascribing the wrong reasons for my actions.

What you really do - vs what you are deemed to do
And it is always nicer to be admired, or respected, than to be despised

Then - in the midst of all the angst - the Taurus in me snorts and paws a hoof - and I think - who cares, as long as I know that I have done nothing wrong - at least, in this matter!
