who am I?
This question is the most important question that we need to answer. There are innumerable answers to this question. thw thing to note is that our reaction to various life situations is determined by our answers.
for example, how we respond to the middle east situation will depend on what our answer to this question is. If I say I am a Jew then i am likely to say that the Hezboolah are the party to blame. On the other hand, if my answer is lebanese then I would put the blame squarely at the door of the Israil. I hope I make myself clear on this count. The answer decides our identity for the time being. Many answers bring out the many shades and aspects of the identity. hence our responces to life situations are rather complex and unpredictable.
The answers all determine other peoples expectations of us. If I say I am an Engineer, then they would expect me to solve technical problems and if i am not able to solve their technical problrms they would be disappointed. they may even get angry and denounce me.
Iam facing these problems every moment. When I am clear in my mind about my identity then I am able to handle them with equanimity. when I am not clear then I am disturbed.
"Who am I?" therefore is a central question for me.
