OT: What defines you as a person?

[fgadmin]

So you're proud of simply 'being' and existing?
Where'd you pull that from?
but do you see that as an achievement? a contribution?
So, apparently you feel these
define
you as a
person
?
what you consider your legacy?
Is a legacy
required
for me to be a person, or human being?
You sure you're not conflating?

Opposable thumbs?
That's part of you, isn't that like being proud of walking or sleeping?

No. A lot of beings walk and sleep.

No. A lot of beings walk and sleep.
And there are beings which have opposable thumbs, so it's not really 'specical'

That reminds me of a scene from
What Dreams May Come (1998)
:
Albert:
If you lost all your limbs, wouldn't you still be you?
Chris:
I'd still be me.
Albert:
So what is the "me"?
Chris:
My brain, I suppose.
Albert:
Your brain? Your brain is a body part. Like your fingernail or your heart. Why is that the part that's you?
Chris:
Because I have sort of a voice in my head, the part of me that thinks, that feels, that is aware that I exist at all.
Albert:
So if you're aware you exist, then you do. That's why you're still here.

Didn't know 'eating' was something you could be proud of. O.o

Eating THE best food on earth IS something to be proud of.

My humility.

gladoscake — 9 years ago(January 20, 2017 08:35 PM)

My humility.
Bingo. Well, it's not what defines everyone, but it defines you, as an individual. That's what I was looking for!

but it defines you, as an individual.
I know.
My humility is f_cking awesome, dude. If there was a Noble prize for humility, I'd win every year.

Probably my socks.
I like to wear warm socks with no holes in them.

Right.

I have a lot of sock accounts that are moronic enough to forget to drop the ladder on yachts.

Your deeds and actions.
If you're happy and you know it, go sit in the corner and think about your life.

gladoscake — 9 years ago(January 20, 2017 08:25 PM)

Your deeds and actions.
My
deeds and actions? or you mean, your, in general? though I'd normally say 'myself' when speaking of myself. Confused me a tad.

Cogito ergo sum.
All the physical parts are constantly changing. I might look the same as I did a little while back but all those visible cells have been replaced. It's the model, the functioning, that matters.
All roads lead to truth if you're willing to travel honestly.
