Well, let's not be too hasty. I'm too COOL to be proud. I'm not jealous of anyone. I'm not competitive because I am fully aware of my strengths and weaknesses and don't need to prove anything to anybody. I never try to "show I'm better" because I realize that there are greater and lesser men in this world and they can ALL kiss my ass. So who am I? A well-traveled guy who is into all things low-down, righteous and FUNKY...a guy who loves the beach, his little red sports car and his cat. That's who I am. Or isn't that "cosmic" enough for you?

Okay Jack, but WHAT are your strenghts & weaknesses apart from the guy who loves his cat and car? I noticed that you're into "Medical" which means that maybe you could be a smart guy. Compassionate and caring too? What's behind the smile and joys of life?

My opinion would be that other people doen't always perceive or see us as we truly are or would like them to see us. Perhaps we only wish we were not jealous or mean...living in our own little make-believe world where we only think we are the sharing type or the kind saint, but in truth maybe we're not... It can be a bit like looking into a mirror and to see a different face from that what others see.

Depp's question is a bit too introspective for me to feel comfortable to share who I think I am with others. But I am curious about how others think about it.

Still trying to figure out who am I really underneath it all.

I'm a cynic miscreant, impolite at will and with dangerous atheistic and extreme left-wing views, out for world-conquest. Tiska: stark raving mad since 1989. And proud of it.

The economic anarchy of capitalist society as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of the evil. We see before us a huge community of producers the members of which are unceasingly striving to deprive each other of the fruits of their collective labour. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals.

The age old question "Who am i". I am me. Myself. I don't need to know anymore than that. Also, it's not a question i spend a lot of time pondering on so i don't have a better answer. As for pride, i don't have a lot of self pride, and i don't try to show i am better than anyone else. I have no desire to do that.

I couldnt agree more,its very easy to sideslip into what am i..

femaleserenity_1 | 24 March 2008 - 2:18am

i think life is full of many emotions ... some good and some bad .... we go thru expireinces of anger, jelousy etc but we also go thru emotions of happiness and fullfilment and we learn from them and thats what makes us who we are ....
