When your shadow tells a true description about you, then you have a transparent shadow. We were taught in basic sciences that a shadow is exactly the shape of the object from whichever direction the light rays fall on it. So, a shadow shows what the object is like.
The picture of a shadow is the image from the object. It would be abnormal to see a cat from the shadow of a tree. A tree will give a shadow that looks like it. Likewise, your shadow looks like you.
With respect to my title, our character and attitude are shadows of who we say that we are. If you say that you are a doctor but you behave or look like a farmer, then you have an untrue shadow. Try to make your actions reflect something that truly reflect what you say you are.
just my advice
