Who am I?
A question that has become cliche', lost, then cliche' again. Regardless of the cliche' factor, it still remains a question many can't answer simply. Some say "I am a collection of all the actions I have done in the past or experienced until now" I can't quite agree with that because if someone, lets say, forgets to pick up the evening newspaper one day, it doesn't define 'Who they are' two years from then.
Other actions or events such as a womans daughter being put into the hospital after a near death illness would be considered Definitive Actions (or Defining Moments) and thusly would be significant to how the person thinks and reacts to life far past the event itself.
In my opinion a person is exactly who they are now. The definitive actions in their past help shape their thoughts, reactions, ideals, and their entire mentality. You are not who you were two years ago, not even one year ago, maybe not even a month ago. It is all based on how we change as humans. Our thoughts consistantly add new information and get rid of old. This sets up the mentality we have right now. This sort of ever changing answer is exactly why many can't answer the question.
Feel free to post your thoughts, input always stirs good insight.
