warning: not for you.

Plato once said: (for real this time)

"[something] is not being seen because it is a thing seen but on the contrary it is a thing seen because it is being seen; nor is it because it is being led that it is being led but because it is being led that it is something led; nor is something being carried because it is something carried, but it is something carried because it is being carried."

i used the whole quote because i think its important to realize that this concept applies almost universally. in fact, its not the entire quote. plato also explains that something changed is not changed because it is something changed, but rather something is changed because it is changed. he also states that something loved is something loved, not because it is something loved, but because it is loved.

it might seem kinda overwhelming at first, but think about it. something is not loved because it is something loved, but because it is loved by something.

so i wonder if we are who we are because we are who we are, or if we are who we are because we were made who we are.

nature vs. nurture?


i ponder.
