Nothing...

Who wants to be nothing? That is a question I recently came to think about... more so after someone mentioned off-hand... "Without the passport we are nothing"...


Who are we without the stuff that surrounds us? The passport, the house, the car, the clothes and more... Do we fight everyday to protect that stuff for a so-called identity that will change?

I guess the logical question is what creates your identity?

But then do we really want to be something? For most of our lives whether consciously or subconsciously we are always looking to be like somebody... That person is better looking... That person has a good personality... That person has something I want...

Why can't we just be nothing... After all, quite a few of the inventors didn't create stuff to be known.. They were just being themselves... a blip on a radar screen... They were nothing... But then they became something...

I think we should all strive to make something of ourselves.
Greatness and identity are two concepts I dwell upon a lot. I am yet to discover what it is that is my defining trait, if such a thing exists.

But we are making something of ourselves.. whether we like it or not... I on the other hand would love to be nothing...

I guess what I'm trying to say is that what defines you as a person is not what is in your hands.. It is what is in your heart and mind..
