The Sum

What are we in this life? Are we the sum of our parts? Are we the people we associate with? Are we our parent's children? Are we a product of our environment? Are we the things we create? Are we the things we destroy? Are we the way we spend our time? Are we the books we read, the movies and tv shows we watch, the music we listen too? Are we the ideas we have? Are we the atoms that compose our bodily form? Are we what we say we are? Are we what others say we are? Are we what influences us? Are we how we influence others? Are we the good things we have done? Are we the bad things we have done? What are bad things and good things? Are we the things we own? Are we the things we don't own? Are we the things we want? Are we the things we need? Do we get to decide who we are? If not, then who does? Are we who we are? Are we who we are not? Who are we?
