Who Are You?
It is a good/interesting question, is it not?
Who are you?
When this is asked to me, my answer is not quite like “This is Azem” or “I am Azem”.
Azem is the name given to me by my father. I like my nama a lot. However, my name alone does not tell who I am.
Who am I, then?
That is an interesting question. How do you respond to a question like that?
I believe that the best response I can give is probably the most cryptic one as well:
– I am just a curious person, someone with unending hunger for knowledge and curiosity to learn more and more, who is trying to see what he can make of his life on Earth!
Does that answer the question?
I am not sure, if I am perfectly honest! This may be my answer now but a moment later, my response may change. Because, I am trying to introduce my soul to you, not my physical body!
Do I know my soul?
Absolutely not! I do not think I will ever truly understand my sould. It is an ongoing process, to say the least, for me.
What I just told you was true. However, not the only truth about myself. I am much more than just a few words. I always believe that each of us are a whole encylopedia with many volumes, not even just a book.
What I like is to discover this on myself, my soul, and on others, others I am interested in. I do not have to delve in other people’s lives to understand that. People usually ask others questions like:
– What’s your name?
– Where are you from?
– What do you like?
– How many siblings do you have?
ETC.
Do they tell everything about us? I do not think so. Because, we are much more than the answers to those questions.I can write about a hundred questions within the next 5 minutes. I do not think I will be a lot closer to understanding you than at the beginning of our conversation. I will definitely learn some stuff from you but they will not be conclusive. They will never be conclusive. The main idea/point is to truly understand who we truly are and accept the fact that we will never be able to finish discovering ourselves. It is a never ending process, is it not?
We discover our weaknesses and stregths all the time. To accept it as the final truth has the potential to set us free.
My perspective on this is that those questions are hepful for sure. However, in order to truly understand someone, we have to dig even deeper and deeper. Are you ready for such a journey? Especially if that journey is through to your innerself?
