 WHEN AM I?

Your body is an instrument of action and expression, your mind is an instrument of perception and digestion of information received from the outer and inner worlds, your emotions are vehicles that synthetically express the procedures in progress, therefore, the question that remains is, where are you? Where is this entity that calls itself I?

Who does it? Who thinks? Who feels? Who gets emotional?

The fundamental question that has always motivated philosophical reflections, “who am I?”, has not yet been answered, it is an understanding in the works, but even if we cannot conclusively define who we are, at least we can get closer to the answer through another question: When am I?

Yes, we are not always ourselves, we spend a lot of time reproducing what other people think, distancing ourselves from those we criticize, and trying to resemble those we admire, but we are ourselves only when, with full intention and will, we use our vehicles of expression to express ourselves.

When we use our vehicles of expression to express ourselves, without contradicting or favoring anyone, then we are ourselves.

When our vehicles of expression serve to make it clear that we are different from those we dislike or similar to those we sympathize with, then we are not ourselves.

When talking about misfortune, people come together and even seem to compete among themselves in search of the trophy of the greatest sufferer of tragedies. However, when it comes to the grace of life, people question everything.
