It’s a minefield … I would have thought that growing and changing eventually helps you to reveal your true self …
Every time you undergo a new experience you learn and change, you will never be the same at 16 as at 21, 40, 60, 80 and so on. Or if you are there’s probably something wrong with you.

Exactly. The challenge is to grow. To continually challenge yourself. To remain unchanged is to stagnate. As Eleanor Roosevelt said, ‘A beautiful young person is an accident of nature but a beautiful old person is a work of Art.’

I don’t think a lot of it is rocket science …
stay doing the same thing and you’ll never know what’s out there but a lot of people are perfectly fine with that … others are more restless/curious and need to move about…some people believe where they were born is the centre of the world , others believe there is no centre and mix in different environments more …

My understanding of Eastern Philosophy is that there is no self. ‘I’ am basically consciousness in the present moment - I don’t have a name, a nationality, even a gender. These are all labels created by the mind.
All these are just labels, we know that music is music.

That’s it bro. And it’s present moment based. You can’t experience the best part of a song until you actually hear it.
And then it’s gone.
‘The moments already passed - yeah it’s gone’
