Sometimes, one needed to maintain anonymity. To keep a low profile, moving through existence like a shadow that left no trace of its passage. Invisible to the gazes of powerful entities, unnoticed by those who might otherwise pose threats.
Other times, one needed to be explosive. To shine more brilliantly than anyone could have ever imagined, blazing with radiance that forced every eye to turn in acknowledgment of unprecedented achievement.
There was nothing wrong with either approach.
What mattered was whether the chosen method fit the purpose and aim one sought to achieve. Strategy over preference, results over comfort.
The one who maintained anonymity and kept a low profile could move behind the scenes unobserved. Free from the scrutinizing gazes of others, they could accomplish whatever aims they pursued in peace and silence. No attention meant no interference, no threats that emerged from jealousy or fear.
