Saw this today – with some quick ideas for a lesson;
“You are the average of the five people
you spend the most time with.”
– Jim Rohn
Are you? Am I?
Do we have an essence? Or are we each an admixture of the roles we play and the relationships in which we are embedded?
Or both?
The best answers I ever found were in Who is Man? by Abraham Joshua Heschel.
The Photo is of Heschel with MLK at Selma – they consider each other to be a ‘prophet’
Is my essence the sum of that with which I identify?
Or is there an essence that is independent of the accidents of personal history ?
