A Persons True Identity

[Izzy]

When considering who somebody actually is would you only base it off of what they have done from someone else's perspective or would you include the kind of person they are on the inside?

You would probably naturally think that it makes sense to include the person they are on the inside, but I feel like myself and likely everybody thinks all kinds of things that are terrible that they wouldn't ever act on. It wouldn't be fair to judge people on thought crimes so why would who somebody is as a person be based on things that they think and not do.

You could also act in a certain way that is a complete lie such as a sociopath would. You can fool people into thinking you are somebody else when to yourself you could be incredibly corrupt.

It also doesn't make a lot of sense to start picking and choosing parts out of your real actions and thoughts to make up what should be considered your identity.
