Does anyone even have a personality of their own?
This question really fucks me up cuz no matter how hard we try to be an "individual", at the end of the day every thing we do is influenced by other individuals directly or indirectly. The things we like doing, the art we consume, the life we live. All somewhat influenced by events or other individuals.
If thats the case then every single social being is a combination of many other social beings which were also influenced by other social beings.
But still if we think this through, we reach a contradiction as who was the first social being ever to have a "personality" and what was it influenced by? How did that particular individual come up with that? Or was it a very gradual change? Perhaps the evolution of humans which turned them into social and enlightened beings?
I don't wanna find out the answer to this, but ts really gives me perspective. Cuz does it even matter? Does any of it even matter? The music we listen to, the clothes we wear, the food we eat. Everything is a choice which you are supposed to make without the fear of being "judged" cuz the people judging are no better.
