"Final Draft?"

Do I think that there is a final draft of who we are? I definitely would have to say no because people are not static, as were are every changing and evolving to shape the person and identity of who we think we are. Truth be told most people in the world will never know who they are, and only some people will think that they have figured out who they are. It is too hard to declare that we have a final draft of who we are as a person because we are always changing. I would have to say the only way a person could have a final draft of themselves is when they are dead. But, is that really your final draft of you as a person? What about after you die, where will you go? Will you start a new life? Or even an afterlife and live forever? This question is hard to answer but I would have to say that as people grow with time, we will always be becoming closer to our final draft, but even when death is upon us, we may not have been able to finalize some things in our life, and some things will be left for others to determine. I would say that life is a book that never ends, and we are writing the pages every day that we are living on this earth, so a person should live each day for the next trying to accomplish as much as they can while they have a chance to change the world. Because when we are gone we will never be able to return to be the same person we once were.

    Or - will the people you leave behind continue to "reinvent" you after you're gone?

    Thoughtful post, Jon.
