Many people strive to establish their identity by leaving something behind and accumulating proof of success. Is it the fear of death that drives us to abandon these egocentric declarations that we will have been someone?
We are known when we are recognized, but the opposite is also true. We are recognized for accomplishments or particular actions that have left an imprint on our community or even our time. Social media platforms contribute in convincing us that we exist just for the purpose of publishing.
But, what precisely it it? Who are you? Recognising that «we don’t know » is the most courageous thing to do. We get into the practice of answering this question mentioning our many responsibilities in everyday life. We respond as if we were trying to fill a container. Identity is portrayed as the consolidation of our many personalities.
It’s time to let it go. Let us find the courage to acknowledge that these personalities are a distraction from reality. We place more emphasis on « having » than on « being ». We become immersed in a vortex of beliefs, dogmas, expectations and illusions.
