Who are you that you are? Can you count on yourself to be winning in life today?
Questions, ordinary questions make you look for an answer. An answer that shuts down the looking.
Other questions, like the question in the title make you look… But the answer… oh, the answer creates an even bigger opening… it is like the abyss opened up in front of your feet… Fill your heart with dread.
And that is what was the purpose of the question… to open up the abyss…
Your self-view today is a tricky thing to predict. It will grow out of your seed level: of who you are that you are, whether you can count on yourself to be winning at life today, and other questions, very similar to the one in the title. All designed to confront you, to arrest you, to wake you up.
Who you are that you are is the person who is going to do life today. Interact with the world, interact with things… and the level of success, the mood, the outcome depend almost hundred percent on the answer to the question: who are you that you are?
