cuchulain Posted July 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 I know it seems a whimsical question, but recently I began wondering what identifiers people used for themselves. Most of the people I know when asked this question will reply with oh I am a doctor, or I work at walmart, or I am a housewife(or dad). Some few people will reply that they go to such and such church, or attend college at this school or that. I thought I would start off broadly to see what other people might think of the question itself, aside from the music reference which is obviously the first thing that MUST pop into anyone's mind I don't think there are right or wrong answers to such a question, since the only person qualified to answer for each individual is probably that individual themselves. Brother Kaman, I have never gotten the answer you gave before, but I think it strikes closest to the mark for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Key Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Ah, ok. Now that I see what you are asking:I'm a male, introverted, hetero, Anglo, open minded seeker of truth and good vibrations. I see value in multiple worldviews, so I don't hold to just one. (The truth is universal.) I am easy going and fiercely loyal to a very select collection of friends. I believe in hard work and just rewards, as I'm not unafraid to sweat, but if there be an easier way, I'll try it. (Work smarter, not harder.) I identify as Democrat, but only because I do not feel connected to any other parties.I am a father, lover, fiance, friend, brother, and son. (Was a husband once, and hope to be again someday, if she'll truly have me.)My heritage is mixed and broken. Thereby uneasy to trace.Is this what you wanted to know, cuchulain?

cuchulain Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 appreciable responses, all, and much thanks. As to Brother Kaman's question about who I am, I would have to say an ignorant seeker. I think that fairly sums it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emalpaiz Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 In both Vedantic Hinduism and Buddhism there is a meditation that follows the question "Who am I?" I have been following that meditation for many years. It does not give an answer, but it leads one into an interesting understanding into how complex we are. After years of practicing this meditation I have found a bit of serenity. I have understood that I am just another man trying to find meaning in a sometimes confusing existence. I will continue to practice this meditation even though I might never find an answer. But I can say a few things as to who I am: I am a man who grew up in a culture of two languages; a man who is the product of many races: white, black, Taino Indian of the Caribbean. I have grown up in three religions: Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism. I love freedom, the ocean, and the mountains of my island. But my true nature will probably always elude me.
