I appreciate your thoughts, but I believe this ties in to the original ? And the old adage "the only way to achieve something is through hard work" Yes, it would be hard to "peel off the layers of the present and past". The end result would be worth it, IMO.angelofdeath9308 said:Finding this "I" is harder than it seems. One has to peel off all the layers of the present, plus all the influences of the past, plus understand the rationale behind all of one's decision making.
Or maybe the "I" is nothing more than a collection of experiences.
But this is a totally different topic.
