MY TRUE SELF?

Yesterday, I commented on an inspirational quote I read on Facebook:“ my actions reflect who I truly am and your interpretation of them reflects who you truly are”.

I commented: “At first sight.... I like it. On second thought.... are somebody's interpretations the reflections of who he/she 'truly' is, or the end product of all the internal filters( like internalised messages from the outside world and fear) it went through......? Just a thought......”

It all comes down to who or what is your true self?
It's a very interesting and intriguing question.

Many people very much like to be true to themselves.
But is their one true self? I somehow doubt it and I feel my true self has either many faces, or many angles to look at it: multidimensional.

Is it ‘what I do’ that reflects who I truly am? Partially, yes. But ever so often, there is a also some disguising, masking, hiding or just ambiguity going on.

And do my interpretations of somebody else's actions say more about my cultural background, my upbringing, my unconscious automatic patterns,.... or about my true self?

At this point in time,  I'm just not sure, and only wandering.

Thank you Beth,  for putting this food for thought on Facebook.
