Shopping for Self
“Let’s go on searching for our real selves, it’s smashing fun - on condition that the real self will never be found. Because if it were, the fun would end.”
—Slawomir Mrozek
’Make yourself,’ ‘invent yourself,’ ‘be whomever you wish to be.’ Those who offer us the trappings for our modern ‘becoming’ journey are endless. We may change ourselves as often as we wish, without limit.
We are endless ‘hunters,’ fully immersed in the game of finding ourselves - our real self is the capture.
But to find oneself would end the game, ending the only identity we have known.
