How, as people go, are we identified. Some of us are mostly identified by our looks. Some for beauty, and some for height. some for weight, some for ugly. Looks is not the whole of these people so identified, but the part most easily and conveniently identifiable. Some of us are identified by our deeds. Murder, robbery, philanthropy, volunterism are some such examples. Some of us are identified by our work. Some of us work to become wealthy. Some us work to make a living, and some of us work because we like to. For those of us that do work because we like to, its very difficult indeed when we have no work. We loose our identities. We can not be identified any more others, and we start to loose ourselves. We hover in cyberspace or real space or lost in the exploits of novels, but what makes us what we are to ourselves starts to diminish. That is the real result of our worlds economy right now, our lose of self.

  1. The old guitar maker as philosopher! How true
    what you are saying. What are we if we can't DO what we are? Well, we still can we just don't get paid for it! So we can't do it forever. Now I am a struggling human being and I express it in my struggles. I don't want to be the artist who finds himself welding more.
    I am now the welder who would rather be artting
    now.
