How can we describe ourselves?
We can explain ourselves from the perspectives of:(1) Genetics (2) Genealogy ( 3) Family influence (4) Societal influence (5) School influence (6) Higher Education (7) Influence of friends (8) Employment experience (9)Impact of inimical forces (10) Professional Challenges, Achievements and Failures (11) Financial position (12) Perception of self worth (13) Perception of social worth, (15) Health conditions (16) Political commitments, (17) Community involvements, (18)Religious orientations, (19) Personal philosophies and (20) and Marital cum family experiences. In my own autobiographical books of Gospel According to Myself and The Mirror of My Self, I have tried to explain myself broadly from these perspectives, but without giving any attention to the first item in the list.
How can we best describe ourselves?
The best way to describe oneself is to be casting away the identity of a being rather we must focus on an identity of belonging to a part of something much greater in purpose.
All our life revolves around finding Thar very purpose and working for that purpose if it’s already found.
Some figure it, some don’t.
When that purpose is figured and found, all it takes some efforts to be known for that purpose. And then comes a times when need of describing oneself ceases and the people say,What better description can be given when the performance speaks for itself.
