Life is what it is and you are what 'you' are. Simple? Not entirely. By saying that life is what it is, we mean that there are certain occurrences that just happen, that nobody can do anything about. What about you? Well, you certainly are who you are but this doesn't necessarily mean that what you are corresponds or reflects what you "think" you are. Many a times, in fact, you speak or behave in a way that, at the moment, you believe to be the right way - while later you realize it wasn't. "It was not 'me'", you might say to justify what you said or did. This clearly shows that, at times, you act as if your were some other 'being'. Why does this happen? A possible reason could be fear. When you feel threatened (of attacked, criticized, belittled, made fun of, etc.) a defense mechanism kicks in, the expression of which does not necessarily correspond to your real 'self'.
