It seems that in Western culture (well–Seattle culture, the only culture I’ve lived in) that us people–humans–we define ourselves by three main things, in varying proportions:
1. What we do (hobbies/sports maybe)
2. What we make/contribute (could be nine-to-five?)
3. What we own
I’m not sure what to think about that, more will follow. I have this knee jerk reaction that I’m either missing something, or that there’s some wrinkle in the way things work, and there should be something more to how folks..ah..well…are.
1.5 Who we associate with
Hmm.
That feels and seems true, but I have this unshakable feeling that at some deeper level it’s not. But it’s gotta be at least sorta true. Maybe.
Hmm.
That calls for a cup of coffee.
