I: That which is me, the person I identify as myself

"I am that which is unto thee"

Self-recognition is a matter of intellect. It comes in the form of naming, and defining the names. Identity is so important, it is the most important thing we have. Identity is willpower, it can help you decide what is and isn't you. Identity is wisdom, beacuse if you understand your own identity, it is easy to reconcilethe differences in others.

Put more effort into defining what is and isn't you. make it up as you go, correct it along the way. The identity-less majority takes comfort in the strength of behaving similarly, at the cost of thier freedom. No true adult has no solid idea of who they are, whether or not they can say it correctly.

I'm reverting to the stance that people are neutral, not good or bad. Those things are learned, and only part of one' nurtured aspects. No one is naturally bad. Not everyone is so great, either.
