which is WORST: Stolen IDENTITY, Stripped MEMORY or Sold SOUL?

Question

Stealing one's identity, being stripped of memory or selling one's soul.. which equals to LOSS of one's SELF(worth or persona) ?

Answer 1

sold soul is worst!!!
Identity being stolen, or having amnesia would suck big time of course, I certainly would not choose that.
But the thing about a sold soul, is that that is a CHOSEN state of being! Someone so power hungry or desperate (or whatever the case may be) that they would desecrate their body and become a shell!

Answer 2

The sold soul, & i'll tell you why
A stolen identity can either be fairly good or bad
A stripped memory that may have contained a worse past & hoping for a better future
A sold soul means that a person that don't appreciate life & doesn't even appreciate being alive, how more can someone lose himself by adapting the persona of a devil.

Answer 3

I would say that stripped memory or sold soul would be both as bad as the other because a stripped memory loses who you are because you are who you are from the experiences you have had if you can't remember them how can you be you and as for the sold soul your soul is your very existence on a spiritual level, knowledgeable level your soul is your most inner part of you without it you cannot define who you truly are. Stolen identity- not so much while it may cause alot of financial trouble and stress you are still you, they can steal your name, identity but they can't steal your soul, personality, spirit, experiences or memories.

Answer 4

Stolen identities surface only on documents. They'd take your name, your birthdate, your address, your records, etc.,..but you'd still be you. In all truth, who we really are cannot be altered or snatched away. We are who we are with our own fingerprints and DNA's.
Stripped memory as in loss of awareness about what had happened could be therapied back. If not, we only drift into the unconscious zone of our brain; remembering nothing of the past,..or nothing at all. And yet, there would always be a chance, no matter how slim, to wake up into consciousness and start a new set of memories again.
To sell our souls,..to the one who's been longing to have it in any way it could, the devil himself, would be the worst thing ever. A sold soul would be another devil's advocate. And the one who lost it would be like an empty broken vase trampled to the ground...with NO USE at all...except perhaps to cut and wound those bare feet that might walk over it.

Answer 5

Well, I believe that sold soul is the worst possible especially if it was stolen first since that equates an enslaved soul,. But your question as it is phrased is a logical fallacy as I believe it displays distinctions that are wholly or partly different as if they were one and the same. Reading as follows in the second part of your question "which equals to loss of one's s
Self (worth or persona)." In my opinion sold soul=loss of Self, stolen identity=loss of worth and stolen memory=loss of persona. Selling one's own soul conotes free will and choice, stripped memory is a void of accumulated experiences which may or may not be retrievable , stolen identity is somone utlizing your name or likeness for whatever purposes. I maintain that an enslaved soul is the worst possible of existences because one's essence is taken by force and bartered against one's will. With each of the last three circumstances there is hope, hope that you can clear your name or likeness, hope that your experiences can be relived or relearned (and we must also consider the fact that many of us do not want to remember everything we've experienced), hope that you can escape your captivity or be set free. But if one sells thier own soul they are SOL because you did it to yourself and whomever or whatever that now owns it (you) made an eternal deal.

Answer 6

Stripped memory. I worked out long ago I don't have a soul. So I can't sell it, or lose my SELF while I have memory - merely change. And however I change I'm still me, with whatever sense of worth or identity I have. So someone might pretend to be me, but they can't really steal my identity. Identity, memory, and soul, are all illusions - but without memory (as in alzheimer's disease) my persona would certainly change!

Answer 7

An identity is never stolen that is not lost. If you treasure who you are, it doesn't matter who has your license. New memories can be formed... and memories do not form a person, just a life's past. But a soul is the epitome of one's true self. Without your soul, you are a void, nothing more than an empty carcass.
So what is worse? A sold soul.

Answer 8

Selling of soul....worst, absolute worst.
Stolen identity does not interfere with who and what you are. Its a pain to get it right again, but in the end, you have lost nothing of yourself.
Stripped memory...while its sad, frightening and painful for the ones forgotten, its not for the person who was stripped. Its simply a chance to learn, discover all over again. In some ways, ti can even be a blessing. If you had all kinds of self doubts, etc, before, they are forgotten, and you work with a clean slate.
Selling your soul is something you will never forget, never come to terms with and sours everything in your life. Its an unbearable burden, a denial of everything you hold dear...its the ultimate loss.

Answer 9

well...you can't sell your soul for it is not yours to sell and who the hell would by it.

stripped memory, once it is gone the slate is clean therefore you have no recollection of anything therefore you have only the future of which you would be able to mold and make anew and on your own terms.

stolen identity is another issue, for in that you certainly lose more than your persona, you lose money, you lose your means to buy things, and you have to spend a great deal to get it all cleared up. You have both your soul and your memory to add to the pain and suffering a stolen identity causes... that is why its a good idea to have really bad credit and no money in the back......then you don't have to worry about a thing! Or better yet have the irs after you ...believe me no one wants them on their backs....

Answer 10

If you sold your soul, that would be a choice (not one I'd take) so it can't be the worst.

If your identity is stolen, as per the recent spate of identity theft, that could be quite trying, but I could take steps to correct it or at least lessen the problems.

But if my memory is stripped... I cannot imagine losing my thoughts of my son being born, my first kiss, my first love. It would be as frustrating as hell not knowing these people who say they are my grown children and not feeling that warmth that comes from a shared life together. To feel like a stranger in my own family would be crushing and terrible.
