Please react on this quotation.?

Question

What we are will never change but who we are continuously changes.

Answer 1

I agree with it. Humans have the power to constantly be changing and evolving as much as they choose to. We have only begun to figure out the power God has given us. Many people waste it and feel they are powerless to change their situation.

The one thing we can't change is our human state.

Answer 2

I think it means that what we are is humans. Who we are is actually a choice we make and we can change our decision at any time. So who we are truly would continuously change.

For example. on one day I could be happy, generous and a delightful person. The next day I could be angry, a jerk and selfish. Those choices are ones we make every fraction of a second we are a live, whether conciously or not. Granted some outside sources, such as environment or other human interactions, or even results from our previous choices can affect our new choices, and therefore shape who we are.

Answer 3

Aha! We cannot change the color of our skin (sorry, Michael Jackson!), our ages, hair loss, etc. If we like to eat, we can change HOW we eat, but not the desire to eat...

Who we are is continuously changing because we are human beings. We have the ability to relate to events and people. If we see a bad car accident, for example, and we know the person didn't stop at a stop light, we know to be aware to stop at a light! Aging makes us appear wiser, therefore, because we relate more to the things we have seen and experienced, and are more aware of caution. When we were younger, we thought we were invincible (to a degree). We had fewer fears. I hope this is clear enough... Anxious to read what other people wrote!

Answer 4

perhaps, that is the case. Changes with who we are continuously occur during lifetime too. We are infants, we are adults, we are elders. Personality changes entirely. But something holding it in frame of single unit. It is belief in I. Then, it is not really clear who is not change.Who? That I? One thing I know for sure. Personal "I" changes, for we are not who we think we are. Impersonal I, the Sense of it does not. It is that life force which makes all your life possible. we just forgot how to live it. Rather listening each other not that Impersonal I.That Impersonal I is who we really are. Personifying anything we are creating stage where illusional show taking its toll. Entirely our creation. God has nothing to do with it. Ignorance does.

Answer 5

It makes sense if you consider that we are energy (matter is just energy condensed to a slow vibration, to speak with Tool), which will always be energy, but that the form of this energy changes perpetually.

But the writer meant probably that the ego-personality always changes, whereas the Self never does.

Answer 6

Socrates and other philosophers said 'know thyself'. The real self never changes but is hard to 'know'. However, the superficial self (especially as reflected in wishes and desires) is constantly changing. We know we want this or that today, but tomorrow we want other things. So our superficial wants keep changing, but the real person behind all of that superficial silliness does not change.

P.S. In the U.S. we would ask your question this way: "Please react to this quotation?".

Best wishes.

Answer 7

Our core never changes, other things may. Our reality can change simply by changing our perception. The reality you live in is your choice. For a better explaination, check out the last episode of Neon Genisis Evanglion.

Answer 8

Ayn Rand would disagree. She felt in order to be immortal, you had to stay the same, since people are so facile and fake reinventing themselves every morning. Howard Roark from The Fountainhead was steady and constant, since he was the hero in her philosophy, and Peter Keating was the example of what happens when you aren't like Roark, you become uncreative, mediocratic, and have no opinion of your own. Just giving you an abstact opinion on the quote.

Answer 9

There are certain core facts about us that are immutable: our DNA and the way it affects our personalities. We cannot change those things, no matter how we try.

There are things about us that can change - someone who hates people of a certain ethnicity can learn that they were wrong in their stereotypes, someone who lacked self-confidence can find a new strength. If we have the will or if circumstances force us to, we can adapt to a new path in life.

Answer 10

totally agree. we are always going to be human, but we change a little or a lot everyday by things and people that come along and influence us. 3 years ago i was a quiet shy doormat, and now i have just been given a promotion to a supervisory posistion and i plan to try for the management posistion that will be availible soon. no where near a doormat anymore.

Answer 11

We are born Human, red, yellow, black, white, male, and female, we live, we make mistakes, we love, we hurt, we live, and we die. All this is constant, However, we, as individuals change daily in one way or another. Our environment changes us, as well as life experience, thats what makes us individuals. Someone gives us a compliment, we might become a little nicer, someone tells us they love us, and we tend to be more open with our feelings, come out of a bad relationship, and we may become more introverted.
