What Do You Identify Yourself With?

Your passport and driver's license are called IDs but you are not your face nor your name. You are not your fingerprint, nor your iris. You are not your nationality nor your birthdate.

So, who are you?

Most people identify themselves with something such as nationality, gender, or age. They want to have some kind of guidance. They need something to help navigate their lives easily.

The flipside is that they are limited by their  identification. It is like a shell that protects them and limit them at the same time.

If I say, "I am a white American!", then, I may treat other Americans who have different color of skin differently. If I say, "I am an American!", then, it would be more inclusive. If I say, "I am a human being.", then, it would be far more inclusive. The boundary can be getting larger. If I say, "I am a mammal.", then I feel compassionate with other mammals. If I say, "I am a living creature.", then,  I wouldn't like to kill other living creatures.

Your behaviors are determined by who you think you are. And the choice is solely yours. Nobody can confine you with small identity. So, why don't you pick the biggest one?
