What is I?

                What is I is the question and to answer the question you must understand that I is not who you are on the outside but more or less who you are on the inside.  I is what makes up your person, your thoughts, and emotions.  Not what you see when you look in the mirror.  Today more people spend time thinking about living life to the fullest, and go through life trying to get the most out of it.  They don’t realize there is so much more to them then meets the eye.

                Hayao Kawai wrote of an old Buddhist story he heard as a child, he wrote of a story of two goblins that ripped off a traveler’s arms and replaced them with a corpse’s.  The traveler then went to a monk for advice to see if he was still really living or not.  The monk told him that many foolish people believe that their bodies are the one thing living but in reality it is made up of many various things that come together o form the one thing that is yourself.  This story showed that I is not who you are as you walk around here on earth.  But, more who is inside you allowing you to walk and talk and live on earth.

                What is I can be answered.  It can be explained simply by stretching your mind and seeing that the things you do and who you are is not what you have done.  I is much more than that.  I is what makes up your personality, makes you walk a certain way, learn a certain way.  I is what makes you feel emotion and react to different situations.  People think that it is themselves but really its not.  So the answer is simply, I is what makes you who you are, not who you are.
