When did you become you?

This sounds like some crappy essay question for some sort of crappy class.

I became me the day the old me died, when all moral direction, or need for it, flew out the window in my mind. And it's absence is all for the better, because for me to be born, somebody had to die. In retrospect, I suppose that was true for original me too. Because when he was a sperm meeting an egg, the thousands of other sperm in a race for my current position of multicellular life died, and will never be recognized at all as more than what could have happend. Will anyone cry over their death? No. Will anyone ever hold them in their arms, call them their child and raise them to adult hood? No. I, and I alone won that right! But what does that make me? A monster? Or merely a human, living upon the suffering and death of my unborn kin. Congratulations to all reading this, you won! And to all who came after... well, non did.
Agreed, I think it's a nice question: simple, yet deep.orannis62 said:No, it's just philosophical, nothing stupid about that.madbird-valiant said:I'm pretty sure I became me when my dad's sperm pierced the outside of my mother's egg.
Seriously though, this thread is fair stupid.
The me you all know and love today when I came back from sophomore choir field trip to Chicago, when a very good friend of mine confided his life story to me after nearly dying at the Museum of Science and Technology. IT was that day that I realized that helping my friends through their troubles and making sure that they are happy helps give my life purpose.
i would have to say the 14th of september 2006 was the best and worst day of my life, and it has probably shaped me into the person i am today. it was a life experience that made me stronger and smarter.
When I decided I wan't going to think ahead... It was then that I fully became my impulsive self.

I became me when I moved to Ottawa. Well, it was a little after that. I'm still in a state of change, though. Anything's possible.
I'd say this is a hard thing to define, but to me, it's when I started to act more like I know I am on the inside as opposed to how I'd conditioned myself into acting. It happened just recently, for reasons I may never be able to explain.
Cool thread.

I said it before and I'll say it again. When the young James Burnside played a few minutes of Halo Combat Evolved something happened that changed his life forever. He tried to make his name Trex on the profile selector but missed and hit V hence Vrex.
Then when he got a 360 it became Vrex360.
Then he got traumatised by a certain horror movie and after that became facinated with that genre and indeed all movie genres and became a movie and gaming obsessed elitist.
James Burnside is just my street name, my true identity is now Vrex.

I say my first street fight morphed me into pretty much into who I am now. During the fight I learned the joys of letting go of rage and hate and channeling it into power. I realized how much better it felt not to conform. Now Im me, and if anyones got a problem with it there gonna pay for it either with an intellectual beating or a physical one.
