Identity and Difference

I agree that identity requires elimination of otherness from ourselves. A person's identity is known when they accept themselves for everything they know, attain, and accomplish but, also accepts their shortcomings, mistakes, and personal life choices/issues. It's a point when other people's opinions are heard, but they're "taken with a grain of salt." Taking a person of out their normal element can strengthen or weaken their core depending on how they adapt.

I also agree that identity can never be fixed because people never stop attaining knowledge or making mistakes, so identity matures as people mature.
