Have you been to a stadium full of people, looked out, then wondered to yourself why you are who you are?

Question

What conclusion did you reach?

Answer 1

That one can ask who, and why, but.....there is no answer.
So the only conclusion I can reach is that we each all of us sitting there in that stadium, have a unique roll to play, as a by standard, a player, awatcher, a listener, ...its all an experience and that experience is part of the whole...even though I can not see the whole. I am part of it. And I am important to that whole as everyone else is.

Answer 2

Actually, I don't need to be in a stadium full of people to ask myself that question. (I might ask myself what the heck I'm doing there at that moment.) I used to ask myself that question all the time - and now looking back, I realize I kept asking because I didn't have any real direction in my life. Just get up, go to work, go home, and do the same thing again the next day.

Then I became a mother! After I gave birth to my daughter I never have asked myself that question since. I knew immediately why I am who I am. I had great purpose and direction in my life. Now, as well as being a mother, I find ways to contribute positively to society and the community I live in. This provides me with further direction and purpose.

I suppose I may end up asking myself why I am who I am again in the future, when my daughter grows up and moves out. But I'm sure that by then I'll have a new or redefined purpose and direction, so hopefully I'll be able to answer myself.

Answer 3

First I wondered why I am here. Then I ceased going to stadiums and began to explore self-realization, i.e. who am I?
The conclusion is that I am not this material body, made of flesh, blood, bones, urine and stool. I am a spiritual being, unborn and eternal. When this body dies I will continue to exist. Then I realized that those people on the stadium are unaware of who they really are and are wasting their precious time. Then I decided to stop associating with them and I sought for the company of saintly people. You can also make your life meaningful by exploring self-realization.

Answer 4

or why was I there.. if the concert sucked like faster pussycat and motley crue... 18 years ago,..... OKay motley crue was good faster pussycat was horrible,,, Okay any way what .... ok ....... Yeah.. I have figured that through this lonely world that I am right where god wants me... If I am where I am supposed to be too fast .. I am caught in traffic... if I am too slow .. someone presses an EASY button .. ( not really but... ) I am supposed to be where I am and who I am ... Its like I have this job at a business.. that I like and stay at... through the good and bad,,, Its hard to describe... But I think there is more to it than that .. being you is a process. a process that many people have a hand in creating.

Answer 5

Well no, I try to avoid sporting events when I can help it. I usually get those strange existential thoughts when I'm alone not in a crowd. Sometimes it's not easy being me, but someone had to do it! I am happy with who I am. I wouldn't want to be anyone else.

Answer 6

No, but I have wondered from a very young age why I'm the only one who sees through my eyes and why I can't see through others. Same concept.

Answer 7

No, but i was at a 49er game one time and yelled ICHIRO!! at the top of my lungs. Different sport and player from a different city, but the name sounded right for a good yell....but that's just me.

Answer 8

Not exactly but I try to imagine if anyone there is thinking the EXACT thing that I am thinking at that EXACT moment!

Answer 9

As in, not the dickhëad on stage?
What do I care about the concert pianist, the ballet dancer, the linebacker, the congressman... If they amuse me, so be it. I certainly don't envy them.

Answer 10

I have. I try not to do that because then it makes my feel depressed. Cause I don't know who I am.
