There is no personality?
What is personality?
We often descrice a person saying "Haiyah, he/she's always like that one lah". Or commented on how a person behaves by saying that it's IN his'her personality; She is confident; He is generous; She is a friendly person; He is a caring guy etc etc.
Actually, there's no such thing as an intrinsic personality?
Who we are and how we behave differs with different people and in different environment/situations. We are made up of relationships with people.
Without a child or someone who needed help, how can we show that we are helpful and caring? Without friends, how can we show our loyalty, our supportive side as well as fun-loving side? WIthout people, how can one show how one be nice to people? And all the examples go on..
What an insight.
I agree with we are made up of relations with people. We are who we are because of people around us, whether or not they are someone we know or not. And who we are NOW is made up of our past experiences WITH people, including those who no longer matters to you anymore.
As such, it becomes obvious that noone is in any position to say that he/she is superior or better than someone else. Just because one has 'more' experiences or have 'more' people around him/her doesnt make his/her 'more' worthy at all. 'Cause there's no worth involve here.
I've learnt to accept. NO, not accept. I've realised this or has thought through this bothering thought - who am i actually?
I realised( or at least for now) there's no point in finding out who i am. Or even finding meanings in things i do. 'Cause life has no meaning to start with. Dont misunderstood what i mean by meaningless. You see, if we keep trying to find meaning in whatever we do, if we keep trying to find out who we are, eventually, we will realised that we ARE indeed leading a meaningless life by finding meaning in life.
Life is a process. It has no start point nor end point. Life doesnt ends there when we eventually found out the answers, and the questions never deplete. The answers never suffice. Agree?
