Who Am I

For every being cursed with self-awareness, there remains the unanswerable question: Who am I? We struggle to find meaningful connections to one another. We are the caring friend, the loving father, the doting mother, the protected child. We fight and we love in the hope that somehow, together, we can understand our significance in the universe. But in the end, no one can share our burden. Each of us, alone, must answer the question: Who am I? What does it mean to be alive? And in the vast infinity of time, how do I matter?

Discovery

In the ongoing search for self, there are days when we learn something genuinely new. Something uncovered, hidden, that we never knew was there. Something that surprises us. And on that day of self-discovery, a question remains. What kind of person are we? Does the hero or the villain inside us win the day?
