Who are we? How can you define yourself? Are you the person you want to be, or are you the one others say you are? If i think i am sociable, but the rest of the world sees me as a shy person that finds it hard to communicate, how am i?
This comes as a reply to one of my articles, where i said that it doesn't really matter what others think about you. But if you think about it, you are who they say you are. And there's nothing much you can do to change it. Of course, gossip is different. But can one tell what's gossip and what's not? -NO- Can you be objective when you talk about one person? -NO- Can you really talk about someone, can you define him or her? -NO- Do you know everything about that person? -NO-
Who are we?
I'd like to invent a machine that can read one's mind. Maybe then i'll be able to know who i am, by knowing what others really think about me. I've been dreaming about this machine since i was a little girl. If i had it, i would know what friendship means, what love means and how many people practice hypocrisy. But that would make it too easy.
Somebody tell me who i am... Or else, i might as well think i'm God :))
