Question: Would you relinquish all persons and things, if that's what it took to FIND yourself!?
And why!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The people I know are a major part of who I am, so no, I definitely wouldn't!. Without them, I wouldn't BE who I am, so the "me" I found wouldn't be true!. Do you know what I mean!?

I think we place too much emphasis on "finding ourselves", anyway!. Of course it's important to understand oneself, but it shouldn't come at the expense of our happiness and relationships!. If burning all of your possessions and trekking across India alone is what makes you happy, go for it! But if something else makes you happy, do that!. Everybody is different, everybody will "find themselves" in a different way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes I would because things can all ways be obtained agene and if the only thing I got out of life was that I realized who I was and who my friends were that would make me happy!.

There once was guy in the 18th century that stoped talking for a year to found him self and all so to prive to every one that he could do it!.

No!. Without the other that is persons and things one will not find themselves!. How do we discover who we are without the others!.How could a person find themselves without someone to compare to, this provides us definition so we may seek and we may find ourselves!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
