Identity? Identity!
Some days ago I was signing up for a website and there the
signup form asked me to write some lines about myself. I normally end up
writing about my nationality, educational career, my roles, interests, hobbies
and all. But that day I thought and went on thinking until I left the
website without signing up and turned off the laptop. Today, a week or so
passed after that incident and I am here still thinking about my “self”. I am
not indescribable nor am I having any type of identity crisis. I just was
thinking that whatever I think or do describes me? My experiences, my success and
my failures everything describes me? If no why I have to add them up on
everything I submit somewhere? Why do I need a certificate of being a successful
person in my previous job or being? Doesn’t value matters? Why do “what do you
do?” matters more than “what you are?” In this techno-mechanical world finding
a true soul is very important. A person who is not successful in highlights,
headlines, Facebook followers, Instagram likes nor in getting medals and trophies.
I think what defines you is that how kind you are to other fellow beings. How much
love you can give to those who deserve it. As a Pakistani I reflect on Eidhi’s
life. He was nominated several times for Nobel Peace Prize but never given. He didn’t
have a lot in his hands when he started serving humanity nor did he had many
certificates or medals. He only had that true self that he devoted in being a
better human than being a better any other person running after success. Kindness
and love made him beautiful in his spirit. I don’t want to describe my success
or my achievements. I want a valued soul that’s all. What do you think? Tell me
in comments!!
