True, we start without too much direct influence from our environment (though even the environment around the womb has an influence).
We also start out with powerful genetic makeup that strongly influences whom we become.
Therefore I guess the idea of “original” feels too simple to me.
Learning whom we want to become and working toward that means more to me. Even recognizing whom we want to become takes lots of effort for me.
Hoping we are all trying to do this and working towards our goals for ourselves!
