In response to one of Megan Cooney's questions...

She posted the question, "Is trying to define who we are just a ceaseless task that we will never solve?" and "Can we not just settle for who we, ourselves, think we are?"

I believe that trying to define who we are is just a ceaseless task that we will never solve because us as people are defined on our physical appearance, our beliefs and day to day activities on what we like to do and sometimes those things changes. Trying to define ourselves is just a waste of time because for one thing we always change over time and two, even if you did define yourself, it wouldn't have any purpose or effect on you. All definition is, is just a one true statement or fact that describes youself and since people tend to change over time, defining yourself wouldn't be much of a success.

I think that we can just settle for who we think we are because it would be easier to just let yourself be. Settling for who you think you are would be alot less confusion on how your supposed to be by definition. By doing different things with yourself will be more interesting on how you live your life.

Do you think that defining yourself with just one definition would be a useful thing to do?
