You have a Pierre Teilhard de Chardin look about you; perhaps you are an excerpt from “The Phenomenon of man”.

To me, you look more like a roue recovering from a lifetime of excesses!

I would rather be seen as something from “The Phenomenon of Man” than to be regarded in Charles’s terms. But in life we can’t have everything, and it is better to be noticed than not seen at all!
