Why am I me?

I cannot be who I may,
Bound by strands of DNA.
Is it to be my plight,
A board upon which others write.
Or am I what I am,
Because I alone made the man
Perhaps I am all of these
Nature,nurture and Nictzche!

This is a pretty deep thought arthur. I like the way you put it.

Michael, you give us SO much to think about here..
This is very deep...and well said.
I think I shall have another read
and then ponder your thoughts for a bit.

inspired words.
reminds me of a quote:
"all we are is what we're told
and most of that's been lies."

you've left me in thought....thanks.

it's our struggle for identity that leaves us all unknown
