Identity - noun and verb
Thursday, April 19th, 2007Identity isn’t just who a person is, it’s how that person becomes more like those things with which he or she identifies. Thus, we become more (or less) like the people and/or concepts we admire. Self-admiration, then, is a way to become more like oneself, while mutual admiration makes us more like each other, and self-denial makes one less like those aspects of self that are being denied.
What, or whom, do you admire? With what or with whom do you identify?
