Ok so i was watching Marco Polo (Awesome Series btw)
There's a bit here a Kung Fu Master is explaining something. I won't spoil anything for you, but the master basically explains and I'm paraphrasing here...
"If you are not deep enough in the shadows you will be vulnerable and exposed.
If you are too deep in the shadows then you will be lost."
The question is then asked. "how do you find the right balance?"
The master replies "Certainty of Self"
I asked my self "Do I have certainty of self?"
Am I certain of who I am?
I realized then that who I am, how I am and what I do has always depended on my environment and many differentiating factors.
now these behaviors and environments have been so contrasting and foreign to one another that I have now questioned what my true nature is.
As what would be core beliefs to many other people, have been bent broken or changed so many times and to some an extreme difference.
Now perhaps this is all difficult to relate to. I am soberly aware that my life has been quite abnormal compared to the average person in this country.
But I am curious about other people (meaning you reading this).
How do you find, identify and confirm what it is that makes you "who you are"?
Put the internet to work for you.
