I wonder if your identity is the projection that the world sees or is it something you are when you are completely stripped down and no one is there to see who you are and there is no audience and would that be your true self or would it be the carefully curated image that you have been consciously and unconsciously projecting to the outside world?
If a leaf fell into a deep forest, would anyone know? Or if a leaf fell and a painter happened to draw it, lying on the ground, beautiful with its colors and about to die. will it then be called a true fallen leaf?
What you say or what you see or what you think does not necessarily make one good or great or kind or intelligent or smart or happy. It is said that what one does is usually what defines them. So if you only saw, smelled, heard, thought, felt and talked about but did not act, would it make you less worthy?
A drop of rainwater fell into the ocean, got assimilated into it to never be disintegrated into its own unique constituents. A drop of rainwater fell on a lotus leaf, stayed there never touching the leaf and a photographer zoomed in and captured it, then the drop came to life, it was appreciated, it added to the inherent lotus's beauty. Is one drop more ethereal than the other?
Do you know?
