What's your identity?


What is your identity? I am not talking about your online identity? It's more physical. For some I know, online identity seems to be the only thread by which they hang on to their clout. Let's not discuss about that.

Is it related to your work? or is it related to your hobby? or the things that you do, to piss others off. Many work to earn a living, some work in their field of interest, others to escape their life at home and which one are you? Does the line blur between work and daily life? Is it really worth it, if we put in that extra hours to get that one promotion? Does it just stop there or is it an ordeal to continue for the rest of our career?  These are all the troubles that afflict today's work force.

Have you ever wondered, as to what you are supposed to be doing in life? Apart from waking up in the (not specifically) morning and doing your daily chores like a zombie, hell bent on achieving what? making money for the Corporations?  I am not into the spiritual bullshit of predestined purpose in life. I am more into, what are you doing with your life? does it have a value? other than the few useful organs that we seem to carry, if we had not destroyed that already with our past times. Saving humanity seems to be a huge cliche.

Do we really need super powers to make a difference. All the power, that one needs is motivation, motivation to make a difference. Difference not in someone's life... but in yours. But the problem is... humans are so greedy... so anything that we do to please ourselves always tends to crave for more and that ain't good in the long run or is it?

 So what should we be really doing? Make a difference to your friends and relatives, your enemies because they are the closest to you. Quality and Quantity, both count. And I think that would speak volumes about your legacy, cause it would be the only abstract entity standing... if it had any gall of its own, when your mortal body perishes.

So make a difference, or better yet; be the difference in this monochromatic society and that I think, would be your identity.

I make mine, by writing this and motivating others. :D
Just a rant based on daily news, survived only by my thoughts.
