WHO AM I? I AM MYSELF!

Who am I? It is easy to answer if an identification is to be made. My nationality, my colour of skin, my age, my diseases etc. etc will identify me. Yet to me - myself; I still cannot answer this question - WHO AM I?

I may be sometimes what I claim to be - and at other times I maynot be. This is my paradox - I donot know WHO I AM? Sometimes people help - they identify me as a just person or an unjust one; liar or truthful - and by other actions that I perform. But even then the question remains unanswered.

BUT there is one thing I know very clearly - I AM MYSELF! I know my body very well - what it can and can't do - I know who are my enemies and who are my friends - I know which family I belong to.

BUT there is another way I know myself - I know my good desires and bad desires - I know when I am a saint and when I am a rogue - when I have thoughts that if people knew they would hang me from the nearest electric pole.

I know I am good - yet I can be very bad. I know I am honest - but often I am dishonest! I know I am - yet, their lurks this doubt - WHO AM I? It is at such times I tell myself - I AM MYSELF!
