Who are we?

Who are we?



When you look into the mirror and stare into your own eyes do you ever wonder who you are?

What defines you? Is it what you think or what you do or what you want or what you think would be an ideal world?

Are you simply a prouct of conformity since when you were a baby? Would another person put through the same exact experiences be just like you or would he/she be totally different?

If you change your behavior due to an external change, will you stay the same person or will that change grow on you and change you?

Is there really a free person at all, or all we practically a mathematical result of everything that happens to us?

Are you who you are because you want to be a certain person or are you who you are despite wanting to be a certain person?

Are you yourself when you do whatever you feel like or are you yourself when you are ensuring a good future for yourself?

Do you change over time or do you just forget the "real you"?

Does asking who you are make you more or less like you? Does asking any of these questions defeat the purpose? Is this question important? Once you find the answer will you realize that you have known all along? Does knowing the answer make you less like yourself? Is asking questions about yourself dangerous or is it the key to success? Are questions that never need to be asked unimportant or are they the questions that are the most important? Is asking these questions important or answering them?

We are a product of some combination of our surroundings when young, our upbringing (intended and unintended interactions with family), and our own brain chemistry... as we age, our outlook changes to see these factors not as boundaries, but beginnings.

I think that who we are as adults is a combination of how we came to terms with the things about ourselves and our upbringings that we could not change, and how much we have managed to separate that from who we are and who we want to be NOW.

Given an upbringing that was not 'perfect' (since none are, lol), who have we become?
Have we given up and resigned ourselves to it? Or have we taken its lessons to build a knowledge base and face the future?
Do we look at ourselves as VICTIMS of our childhoods or STUDENTS?
The victim does not progress into a strong sense of self. But the student does.

That's just who you are. Go forth and be yourself.
