You are so changed, he said. And I answered: No, I am not. I am the same. But there are different aspects of every person, different traits, sides and angles. And what you saw during the short time you and I spent together, that was only part of me.
At different times in life, under diverse circumstances, we showcase various sides of ourself to the world. And I wonder if life may be about finding out as much as possible about ourselves, our traits and talents, as we can. And then using that knowledge to better ourselves.
Every person is a very complex being. Does anyone ever find out completely, 100 percent, who they are?
I do not know.
If we remained the same throughout life… Had we then learned anything at all? Developed at all? Is not changing a part of life?
Yes, of course changing is a part of life. But it is also important not to loose track of who you are. I believe there is a core inside us, that stays the same throughout the years.
