Don't get me wrong. I think they are noble goals. But you'll spend the rest of your life persuing them, so to assume that your goals define who you are is futile.

Well...to be frankly honest I just wanted you to stare at my sig .


I get frustrated when people say I have no idea who I am when it seems that they are the ones who have no idea.

I understand. It frustrated me when I was a teenager too. I guess I was hoping to explain to you what no one ever bothered to explain to me. That no one else knows "who you are" either, because you are at this amazing stage of life where you are ever evolving.

You guys can play the philosophy game all you like. It is, after all, the Internet. But when the real world comes back, try to remember that us old folks (I'm still young to many, including myself. Age is relative) aren't saying we know who you are better than you do. We (or maybe it's just me) are saying that even if you are right about who you are today, you'll be wrong if you assume tomorrow will be the same.

Don't just evolve my young friend. RELISH evolving into the person you will be tomorrow! It's a wild ride. Soak up as much of it as you can!

Inspiring words from an inspiring role model. If I was a vet I would have given you a +2

You're such an old man now.

Erx, why do I get the feeling that you aren't exactly a spring chicken yourself?

I don't know. Why do you get that feeling?

[Free Thought]

Perhaps I did not, and was simply trying to be tactful in implying that your are old?

My apologies. I am unaccustomed to tact on these forums.

A2, I'm not saying that you do not know who you are right now. But who you are right now is not 100% who will be 10 years from now. At 15 your brain isn't even fully matured yet.

I agree with Stark, relish in the evolving process! And do your best not to hurt yourself or others in the process. =)

Why am I not surprised.
