Who am I?

Oct 20, 2008 03:00



I mean, seriously? And besides, how do we define who we really are? Is there an arbitrary line that defines who we are and who we only think we are? Must we only look at the physical? Or do we include the mind? Or maybe both? And if both, how much of each? Should we base it instead solely on how the public sees him? Or do we include what only the person knows about himslef?

A human is like a multi-facetted gemstone. It has many sides to it, many faces, and yet they all belong to the same gemstone. And, since it's multi-facetted, there will always be sides that you see up front, sides that you see partially, some that you only see through the other sides, and some that you won't get to see at all.

And then, there's how much of those faces you can actually see. Some may have more faces in front. Some may have more intricate details at the back. It all depends on how the stone was cut. And this is where the uniqueness of a person comes in. It's never always exactly the same.

And so, this is where my search begins. I'd have to discover all the facetts of who I am. And I'd have to know and understand exactly how that face is me.

Good luck to me.
