Who are you? Who? Who? I really wanna know...

I am reading a book; The Five Stages of the Soul. It asks the ever searing question that has troubled man throughout the ages... "Who are YOU" ?? I wish I had an answer. Sometimes I think I could answer it with "Who I wish I was..." or even "I know Who YOU are, I think..." and so it goes. What makes us all unique is, our "sum". I think we came here with alot of Who we are, and then the background and conditioning we got in our familial surroundings influence us; parents, siblings - or the lack thereof, adding in our relatives, our friends, our school chums, teachers, our worries, fears, accomplishments, on to college, the workplace, war, peace, love, marriage, singledom, neighbors, civic opportunities, and alot of what we believe spiritually/theologically. All these things, and more, make us our "sum". Each of has to suffer certain conditions. We get challenged and have to endure many things; humiliation, hurt, loss, worry, non-acceptance, loss of friends, money, and sometimes the greater challenge is that of success and fame. I wonder how fun it is to be someone famous and have no privacy? There must be a fine line between the "Fame Factor" and the cost is often that you give up freedom and peace for that Fame. Who wouldn't cross back over to the peaceful side if they could? I saw Paula Abdul interviewed recently. A beautiful, successful, accomplished woman. I may not dig her music entirely, abit boppy for me, but, she said how hard relationships are for her because of her acclaim. How sad. Today, I am grateful I am a "nobody" in terms of hollywood, or wallstreet. But I am somebody to 8 little chicklettes who call me Boo Boo. That's WHO I am.
