The Final Draft of Who We Are
I believe that there is a "final draft" of who each person ends up being, but I believe that each person will never know his or her own "final draft". I believe that a person will change many times in his or her lifetime and even if he or she does not change significantly it is still a slight "revision" on which each person actually is. However, when each of us has died there is a "final draft" which we have left on the people we have met, known, loved, or even hated. They end up carrying that version of us with them for the rest of their lives which will inevitably alter their personal "drafts". It's like remembering something profound in an earlier draft and that something sticking with you even if it gets cut or changed for the final draft. We affect and effect everyone and we remember things about them that change who we are and decide what kind of person we will be in the end.

ReplyDeleteYes - I think this is important. Even after we die, the identity people remember will also evolve and grow. In this sense, no matter what you believe, our Self interacts with others long after our physical body is gone.
