Data Profiling

I think I must have been surprised, that there are people out there, who categorizes their friends into "Profile-groups", meaning "xxxx is high profile, yyyy is low profile. I think high profile people knows high profile people while low profile ones know only low profile ones". I didn't find the need to argue, but I thought to myself that this seemed contrary to the very definition of being 'high profile'.

High profile people are to be known by ALL people while low profile ones are known only to their own circle. And therefore, the point is that a high profile person cannot be high profile only because he thinks he is-- and 'blame' the others for being too low profile to not know him--because that just shows that he is clearly not high profile enough.

That aside, I am just shocked at anyone even categorizing others based on their profiles because I guess there are characters out there who are more discerning about friendship. I am not the most "high profile" person that I have known, but I am very proud of my friends, of the friends that they have made and of the life they are carving out for themselves.

Each to his own I guess.
