What I am destined for, I don't know, from some higher, higher forces, yes, and what I am called to do among people.

This is one of the questions that can, well, also focus you on the topic of identity and focus you on this in an adult direction.

If you can answer that for yourself, most likely the groups of people you will find yourself with will also be slightly older people.

We are tautological.

That girl who was born once and now, yes, it's the same thing.

On the other hand, they are very different creatures.

The one who was born then and the one who is now. And therein lies the paradox of identity.

That is, on the one hand, it is the same, and on the other hand, it is a being that is constantly changing.

And how to combine this staticity, stability, monolithicity, unity, wholeness and, uh, constant constant change, that's the paradox of identity that we're constantly facing and learning about, right? That's how we can be ourselves.
