WHO AM I

A simple question that bemuses every individual that irrespective of his nation, creed, position and gender, Who really he/she Is? Not many a time will you confront such a circumstance where you question your own self Who really you are. The reason being so obvious that caught up in between two plates of gristmill of social resposibility and family responsibility, that individual rarely has time and energy that to look out for an answer for WHO REALLY HE/SHE IS.
This by no mean is an abstract philosophy that tend to have NO bearing on individual life. A right answer to this question will eventually lead to self rectification of many vices that have crept into ones personal life. Are we just a bundle of bones, flesh and intellect that we are composed of. Infact amidst entire living species, its only human who have the ability to think and act. Where else all the remaining living species are directed by there instinct. Its only man who can discriminate and act.
We just aren't 1, but we are 3. This is by no mean is joke or trivial statement, but a hard core pervasive truth that's impregnated into our existence. One we think we are, One others think we are and One which we really are. Its just no playing with words, but entire lots of truth hidden in the above statement.
One we think we are: This corresponds to the self we are that we decide to make of our self based on our ability, our dream and the effort we put in to achieve it.
One Others think We are: This is what society perceive an individual as, its the outcome of environment in which individual is nurtured.
One we Really are: This is the hidden nature latent in every individual which has been shielded, for the fear that man posses to stick to the principles in his entire life run. The moral principles of TRUTH, RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE, LOVE and NON-VIOLENCE which every religion preaches, but yet man fears to follow them for the lack of courage within them. Many a time we confront situation where we witness wrong happening in our very front. There are 3 response to those which comes from our 3 personality trait that we garb on ourselves. 'The one we are' responds our senses to take action that we see. 'The other think we are' this personality trait just like the audience around us makes our senses and intellect numb to situation front of us. 'The One you think U are' the response from this trait depends on the conviction that has individual whet er what he see is right/wrong and will it matter to him if he takes any prudential action. Same situation, but yet different response coming from ones intellect. This incoherency in our 3 traits is all responsible all the vices and weakness that have crept into our life.
So what really is the solution that we have, its so simple that we see learn to listen to your inner voice. Don't ever ignore the inner urge arising from your conscience. Have the strength to stick to them and implement them in your life. Else Conscience will stop speaking to you. They are like the mechanical instrument we use in our daily life the more you use them longer will they run, stop using them they will rust soon.

This is the most beautiful title u have chosen...Who am I? This question, is a question we rarely get to ask ourselves and when we do ask, when we shed the image we portray ourselves to be, it strikes like thunder...

@ shruthi, very true!

u say that we don't follow principles, for lack of courage. in addition to that, i'd say that we are not humane anymore, or we would simply follow these.

the three personalities, that make up an individual, is very much shadowed by the other, though we don't realise it. they can be merged into one, when we are true to our conscience, and to others.

thanks for visiting my pages :)
