Identity

[Sir-Luggoyo]

BV,

The question "Who are you?" is totally wrong, irrelevant and unncessary to ask in the first place. It all comes down to "What do you wanna know specifically about the person" then you ask. e.g. What is your name, nationality, religion etc etc

But "Who are you?" is not a question.

i used to browse this website ( http://whour.org/home.html ) very often, skip the intro, go to Audio and play the songs Who Are You and Ocean.

SirL good point, lakin even to yourself do you not wonder about how you see yourself and how people see you and why it is the way it is?

uh...i'm smart enough to recognize its symptoms, yes. hence, the whole euro tour thing.

Going for the discover yourself route

[The-Screw]

BV,

That has been there for as long as humans were breathing.

We are all three-in-one (not the trinity)

1) How you want ppl to see u

2) How ppl actually see you

3) And who u really are

You love love, its a beautiful thing. This is who you are.
You love joy. This is who you are.
You adore happiness. This is who you are.
You like being content. This is who you are.
Its a good thing.

in the beginning of this crisis thing that i went through that bullsh!t was making sense to me. so much so that i had it on repeat on my ipod and in my car. looking back now at the end of my crisis i'm like wtf?

So what shapes your identity and how committed are you to it?

I think my identity is mostly shaped by my experiences, beliefs and interests but I'm not committed to anything at all....maybe I am having a personality crisis.....shit

It's not that bad, it's got quite a few decent quotes

[Gatspy]

Dude so it does the trick when its most needed eh Well I wont' even lie, they did put it in a soothing way so i listened to the whole thing but it confused the lights out of me. I think i no longer know who I am.

Eyes but now i'm all Lost

Surrender I agree life is about having principles and that comes from religion, if you tie yourself to Allah and Islam then you are more grounded. The big decisions are obvious in showing personality lakin the day to day decisions we make about life, the things that we don't think are a big deal, those influence us on the whole a lot more than people assume. Do you always think of what religion expects of you in every decision you make or do you sometimes go by your own thoughts or wants?

my own thoughts on day to day decisions is in line with the strong religion i have, principles i hold, and the way i was brought up. dont get me wrong, im not sheekhad and all, and im definetly not better than you guys, but once you realise that everything you do in life ties with your religion/principles/background then you dont have to think about it, when you making the day to day decisions, you just do it witout needing to "think" about it. mind you im not going to lie we all go through i dentity crisis at some point in our lives, but as long you have a firm believe that you are muslim, thats the most important part of your life, and no matter what, you always get be back on track because islam is the one that guides.

my thought anyways.

here's blog i came across about identiy crisis and islam. read it if you can, might interest you.

try mixing that with a little Ray LaMontagne and you'll lose your mind for good.

I think what they're trying to say is you are what you love.

Anyway, that shit definitely doesn't help with an identity crisis. I think it's just supposed to provide a false sense of contentment in being confused which is not really bad per se.

[Gatspy]

Eyes am I, I didn't know i was saying that but ok i guess

Screw,, LaMontagne is Trouble on his own, so mixing the two would only complicate things for sure.
