It’s about you…
The word “about” comes from the Old English word, onbutan, meaning, “on the outside of”. It is a composite of “on” plus “by”, both of which meant then what they do now, and “utan”, meaning “outside”.
About means on-by-outside. It’s about you; it’s on-by-outside you.
In other words, it’s not inside you, it’s not you. Whatever can be said about you is not you, and whatever you can say about another is not them. What we say lies about us.
