๐ Title: Disquietude of the Self: Embracing the Ever-Moving Target of Identity
๐๏ธ Published: 2025-09-25
๐ Summary: E. E. Cummings once urged us to "be nobody-but-yourself," recognizing this as the fiercest battle one can engage in a world bent on making you conform. Yet, the notion of selfhood is far from static; it is a fluid tapestry of shifting emotions, cells, and experiences. This article delves into the philosophical quandary of selfhoodโnot as a fixed essence but as a flowing river in which our identity continually evolves, challenging the very idea of knowing oneself completely in a perpetually changing existence.
