Every child is born with an innate search for truth. It is not something learned or adopted later on in life. It is natural.
Truth simply means, 'I am, but I do not know who I am. I must know the reality of my being.'
The search for truth is really the search for the reality of your being.

It seldom rains in southern California. It started to early Friday afternoon, and when I got home from work, the sky was a glorious heavy grey. I sit at my table and as I looked back through the window, a lone bird was sitting on the wire. And I thought to myself: Why is he alone? Why does he not take refuge from the pouring rain?
The reality of your being... Only yours and no one else's. But again, are we the person who we really think we are?

It's taken me a looooong time to even begin to understand that. I found that extremely profound and exquisitely beautiful in its simplicity.
Oh, and the bird needed a bath because it was stinky.

I never feel so much "who am I" as I feel I hope no one ever finds out "who I am" because they would be bored and move on.

As an adopted child, I find this even more poignant. Having lived 45 years with a void in my life that I couldn't seem to fill. Searching for (and finding) the reality of my being was a quest I needed to complete. There is no longer a void, and I no longer wonder. I feel I've come into my reality. And I'm good with that.

however this innate desire to search out Truth is quickly stifled by 'The Tribe' who wants you to be like the Tribe - we'll tell you what is truth.
It takes some time to break off from the Tribes to retouch this innate desire for truth.

Sometimes I wonder who I really am and who I will become. Really, I wonder all the time.
