When you are introduced to or meet someone new, what do you tell them about you?
Do you tell them your name and what kind of job or career you have or do you tell them about the core of your true self? What do you think is important to share about yourself with potential new friends and partners?
What I'd like to know is do you define yourself by the kind of work you do?
Someone yesterday commented that all too often, when asked about themselves, people tell you what kind of job that they have and not about things they've achieved as people. Has this changed over the years or has the situation changed now that both men and women are heavily tied to the workforce? It's something that I have been thinking about since I heard it.
I, for one, do not want to be defined by the fact that I sit at a desk all day and so, will be making a much bigger statement the next time I am asked. I'd much rather be known for the facts like, I am a bit of an environmental freak, that I think that people being prevented from reaching their full potential is a crime of humanity and that each and every person should have a voice. I also believe that antidepressants and ritalin shouldn't be handed out like candy when they don't seem to be interested in why serotonin levels fall or even try to see if it's our modern lifestyle is created. I also think that, even though I use it, technology is advancing so quickly yet the human animal has not been given the opportunity to catch up on an emotional level. (yet, we still want the newest, fastest... because of slick, unscrupulous and savvy advertising execs) .
What I believe most of all is that nature can make us AND break us and we must respect that!
Humans think they have the power to control nature but they are sadly mistaken. This is demonstrated every day yet, for the most part, people have their head in the sand and don't want to see it.
Anyway, I've been in a rant frame of mind lately. I hope that you will answer the questions that I have asked in the comment file. Finally, I'd like to ask the following:
Is the world, as it is today with it's technology and convenience and the direction that society is taking us, the type of world that you really want to live in?
If not, what is your true ideal?
