Identity

How often do each one of us end up having conversations that, this is my belonging be it any materialistic thing or any relation, “my girl, my boy, my car , my school, etc..” I would alos end up saying such things, but now have reduced saying it. We all were born with a simple identity of being a human being and over a period of time we get many other identities of being some one child, sibling, friend, someone special, spouse, parent and many other relations that exist in this world. There is no harm in being known as one these but what we don’t realize is that we start losing our own identity, and we do the same with others, we started tampering there identity. The first stage is when that person suddenly becomes your “xyz…” and the second change comes when you start calling that person from a nick name. you may agree or disagree to my thought process saying and justifying that it’s just because of love that you call that person that way. My simple question to you is, whenever you meet a person and initiate any kind of communication it is because you were attracted to the original identity of the person, then how and why us supposed to be changed as per your comfort, and how does anything suddenly become your silent possession.

Make your own identity and respect that of others. Be known for what you are and not for what people want to know you.
