Knowing Who You Are

Often the first question to ask about life is not about the meaning but your responsibility.

Who are you? A simple question it seems.

But before you give the answer, let me tell you what I am not asking of you.

I am not asking for your name.

I am not asking about your family.

Not your relatives, nor your background.

I am asking who are you?

Don’t answer with your business card, with your accreditation and not with your institution because I am only interested in who you really are.

It matters not if you are a doctor, a lawyer, a scientist, a homemaker, a student, an artist or a writer, because those are what you do for a living, they are not what you are living for.

So, again. Who are you and why are you here?
