Who are you

"WHO ARE YOU"? It's an attempt to highlight and address misconceptions about human nature. On the surface, the question WHO ARE YOU ? may seem simple and commonly used in everyday terminology. You often hear it in shops, between friends, families or at any social gathering or event. However, closer examination will show that the real answer to the question "WHO ARE YOU?? is very complex, if not revealing, in the sense that it goes beyond the expected answer dictated by conventional wisdom. In reality it is about finding out who someone really is. Some people become either bewildered or perplexed and have a hard time answering if you ask them WHO ARE THEY REALLY?
