who am i?

who am i? this is the question i keep asking myself but i can't seem to find an answer to it. i don't think i really understand the question. i don't know what 'who' means.

who: the pronoun who, in the English language, is the interrogative and relative pronoun that is used to refer to human beings.

so the word 'who' is used to refer to human beings. well then, what's my identification number? zachary dean wright...i guess that's who i am. a name? and what more is a name than just an idea? what if someone had the same name as me? would we be the same human being? say there were two zachary dean wright's and one believed that acts of self-mutilation were cathartic and the other did not...are they still the same human being? i think we've figured something else out. 'who' isn't just a name; it's the name and all the ideas, beliefs, concepts, and bullshit that goes under the name. 'who' outlines the differences of people. just people?

who is god?

first of all, does god exist? because if he doesn't, does it matter who he is? i could say, 'who is jin-jin allah mangore char-la?' but would it really matter if he didn't exist? who is zachary dean wright? or more interesting...does zachary dean wright exist? because if he doesn't...does it really matter who he is?

why am i thinking about god in the first place? if i hadn't heard about god from other people, would i ever have given him a second's thought? it seems like so much interest and effort goes into maintaing this person that no one can seem to prove exists. and maybe he does exist--i'm not saying he doesn't--but does it really matter who he is if we can't prove he exists? i'm just glad i wasn't brought up being conditioned to not question his existence--i may have never climbed out of that hole.
