Consider the context

It's been said to me that I look like an Orthodox monk.  But it's also been said by a co-worker that I must be a biker.  A checker at the local grocery store is convinced that I am Jewish.  Someone once asked me if I was Amish.  What is my point in these situations?  It has occurred to me that the labels placed upon you by others, based on your appearance, is not so much your responsibility but is instead a projection of others past historical context.  In other words, the things that have formed someone's thinking will control and direct how they see others.
What is our responsibility in this?  I'm not exactly sure, but no matter what, we need to be acting in love toward God and neighbor and we must be fixed on things eternal rather than temporal. 
We should consider why we dress and appear the way we do.
