Who Am I?

Who am I?

I've been asked that.

You might be wondering that right now. If not now maybe you will later.

In any event, here is one way I could answer that question even though it might make me sound a bit pompous. Pompous can be fun so long as people know that you don't really take yourself that serious-ly. And to prove it here's a joke.

Knock Knock.
(who's there)
Ya
(Ya who?)
No it's not Yahoo but now that you mentioned it I should check my email.

ok so, who am I?
Who I am has many answers as you may already know. It all depends on the answer you want. You could be asking me who am I in relation to someone else. In which case I could be something different to different people. A brother, a son, a lover, a coworker, a customer, an angel, an asshole, etc.
Or you could be asking me who do I think I am. In which case I could answer with, I think I'm a funny person, a sad person, an angry person, a restless person, a calm person, a loving and caring person, etc.

If you really ask me who I am I might be forced to ask you what do you think makes me who I am, my actions or my thoughts? I can think I'm Napoleon but that won't make it so. On the other hand I could go out on the streets today and kill someone once, just once, and that will make me a murdered for the rest of my life. In other words I guess what they say is true, "actions speak louder than words."

So, instead of asking me who am I, maybe you should be asking me what is it that I'm doing? In which case you should already know the answer since we are sharing this very moment together you and I.

But if you know what it is that I'm doing you may wonder why am I doing it? In which case I could answer "Because I can."

How does that make me feel knowing that "I can" do what it is that I'm doing?
Very grateful and humble.

Thanks for asking.
