The Illusion of Self

Your "self" isn't actually yours. From the moment you're born, society starts building

the person you think you are. Western thought tells you to be an independent individual,

the star of your own show. But Eastern philosophies see the self as an illusion,

deeply connected to everyone and everything. Philosophers like David Hume argued

you’re just a “bundle of perceptions” with no permanent core. Your identity is

shaped by your family, your culture, and even the language you speak. So,

the quest to "find yourself" is really about understanding how you've been built.

You're not a fixed thing, but a constantly changing story.
