My question is this: How can someone be an individual and yet allow their identity to be wrapped up in someone or something else? Maybe it is not a question of being an individual but a matter of knowing who it is you want to be. If you want to be someone then be that person. Don't wait for someone to tell you who you should be, make the decision yourself. Maybe, in the case of being an individual, it is not the ends that matters but the means. Who you are at the end of life is the person you chose to be based on your choices. And it is not until the end that you will finally know who are because that is when you will finally make the connection between every new experience, each new person that you meet, that has lead you to be the person you are in those last few moments. I think that until that moment we will wander amoungst ourselves constantly seeking some answers about who we should be until the moment that we die and we can be assured that we made the choices in our lives, that we controlled our own powers of persuaion and used them on ourselves. Or maybe the idea of being an individual is out-dated. Maybe with the way the world is constantly changing and the way everyone seems to be imitating the lives of celebrities, the only thing we can hope for is a sense of comfort when we come face to face with the idea that we have no identity at all. In fact, we have become the very thing we wanted not to be; sheep.
