Another interesting question that my lecturer raised in class today. Though I think I've already blogged about this sometime back. Still, no harm blogging about it again.
Often times people say things like "I am who I am". That's great and indeed it is. BUT!
What is/was it that made you YOU?
Was it family influences? Friends? Girlfriend? Religion? Experiences?
My answer to this in class was - life.
Why?
Well, everything is encompassed under life. In life you have your family, friends, religion, experiences, etc. So, why does it only have to be ONE specific influence? How about strangers you meet in shopping malls? How about the person who smiles at you when you are feeling down but you don't even know who that is?
I'm a rebel at home. Quite a harsh word to use, I know but I admit to that. Why? Because I think I have an innate sense of very strong integrity in me.
Ever since I was very young, if I knew or felt that what I was doing wasn't wrong, then no matter how my parents or teachers for that matter reprimand me, I wouldn't listen. In fact, I didn't even care. I knew I wasn't at fault so I didn't deserve the lecture I got.
Even to this day, I stand strong when I feel that I did nothing wrong. If it was in my fault, then I will gladly admit it but not when I didn't do anything wrong.
So the question is this - What made you, you?
