so i did

2019-01-02 22:37:42 UTC  

No, define "higher concept"

2019-01-02 22:37:49 UTC  

oh okay

2019-01-02 22:38:57 UTC  

a higher concept is a a way to act or be that follows a certain defined set of rules.

2019-01-02 22:39:05 UTC  

thats more or less accurate

2019-01-02 22:39:37 UTC  

identity is for everyone different, it is what makes you you

2019-01-02 22:39:38 UTC  

That sounds like morals, not identity

2019-01-02 22:39:51 UTC  

Or ethics

2019-01-02 22:40:20 UTC  

but it isnt

2019-01-02 22:40:35 UTC  

i could try to give a guideline but since im not the same person as any of you (as far as i know) identity is different as everyone chooses for themself what they use to define themself

2019-01-02 22:41:09 UTC  

being lucky is a higher concept that can be part of a larger identity (super-identity, if you will)
that doesnt involve ethics or morale

2019-01-02 22:41:20 UTC  

You don‘t act in a way that makes you lucky?

2019-01-02 22:41:37 UTC  

i think everyone does

2019-01-02 22:41:46 UTC  

you dont have to act to be lucky, true

2019-01-02 22:41:53 UTC  

But being lucky isn't an identity, it's a trait, and a delusional one

2019-01-02 22:42:14 UTC  

If you could do that it would literally remove the „lucky“ part from it.

2019-01-02 22:42:14 UTC  

being lucky is a higher concept

2019-01-02 22:42:18 UTC  

doesnt matter here. its about identity. which you cant always choose

2019-01-02 22:42:55 UTC  

Identity is perception, which can always be chosen

2019-01-02 22:42:57 UTC  

identity is something youre identified as

2019-01-02 22:43:02 UTC  

if you will

2019-01-02 22:43:16 UTC  

you can be identified as being lucky

2019-01-02 22:43:17 UTC  

identity is build from traits and morals and alot more but everyone decides their own if they want to become themself, thats why npc's have no identity as they didnt decide anything for themsellves

2019-01-02 22:43:30 UTC  

That‘s your public persona

2019-01-02 22:44:02 UTC  

persona := mask (greek?)
were supposed to have real selves

2019-01-02 22:44:09 UTC  

its being lucky is more connected to what you give off to the public then who you are

2019-01-02 22:44:29 UTC  

yes but your "real self" is impossible to show to society in totality

2019-01-02 22:44:38 UTC  

according to the persona theory

2019-01-02 22:44:46 UTC  

true, but are are perceived as your public persona, not your identity

2019-01-02 22:44:53 UTC  

kek

2019-01-02 22:44:59 UTC  

if persona means mask them being lucky is probablly public persona as it may look like you are lucky even though you dont have to be

2019-01-02 22:45:12 UTC  

true feels

2019-01-02 22:45:25 UTC  

your persona is one facet of your identity, what you show to specific groups

2019-01-02 22:45:36 UTC  

you have different ones depending on the group you're with

2019-01-02 22:45:56 UTC  

yes but what is beneath that mask is your identity

2019-01-02 22:46:01 UTC  

You can influence your public persona, yes.

2019-01-02 22:46:08 UTC  

your identity is slightly more than the sum of your personas. it's all those things, and other core beliefs you don't share with anyone

2019-01-02 22:46:11 UTC  

even yourself

2019-01-02 22:46:45 UTC  

well there are ways to find out your "core" morals/feelings

2019-01-02 22:47:03 UTC  

you can find those out, but only looking through each of your personas

2019-01-02 22:47:17 UTC  

that's what therapists do
