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
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
You don‘t act in a way that makes you lucky?
i think everyone does
you dont have to act to be lucky, true
But being lucky isn't an identity, it's a trait, and a delusional one
If you could do that it would literally remove the „lucky“ part from it.
being lucky is a higher concept
doesnt matter here. its about identity. which you cant always choose
Identity is perception, which can always be chosen
identity is something youre identified as
if you will
you can be identified as being lucky
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
That‘s your public persona
persona := mask (greek?)
were supposed to have real selves
its being lucky is more connected to what you give off to the public then who you are
yes but your "real self" is impossible to show to society in totality
according to the persona theory
true, but are are perceived as your public persona, not your identity
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
true feels
your persona is one facet of your identity, what you show to specific groups
you have different ones depending on the group you're with
yes but what is beneath that mask is your identity
You can influence your public persona, yes.
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
even yourself
well there are ways to find out your "core" morals/feelings
you can find those out, but only looking through each of your personas
that's what therapists do
ever heard of drugs?
I don't believe drugs reveal core beliefs
as far as i know taking shrooms is a highway to "enlightentment"
you're fundamentally changing your perception of the world when using drugs, it doesn't necessarily give you any clarity on who you are as a person. it's like how "truth serums" don't exist
well i disagree
I only heard of drug stores. Weird naming if you ask me. And taken shrooms is a sure fire way into depression.
you may be able to determine your core values by what changes and what doesn't when you get high, but that's not the drugs, that's introspection
as it leaves you mind more vulnerable to new ideas it also eases thinking about who you really are
I think we've missed the mark, here, though
