I was recently reading a blog post by an artist I follow. He was saying that each of us is made up of the various things we have seen/heard/read/etc. We're a sort of soup of each of these things. Some of them stay nearly whole and others dissolve into the background, each adding their own flavor that makes up the unique "me".
I also had a friend on Facebook ask if we should allow ourselves to watch violent television shows. He is a fan of the Fire and Ice books, but was contemplating watching any more of the television version since there is apparently a LOT of violence, especially towards women in the HBO show; more than the books, apparently (I'm not familiar with either).
I think those two ideas are very closely linked. What flavors do you want in your "me" soup? What do you want others to "taste" in you?
