"I am here" - never before in human history this existential reality has been so obvious as now. Thanks to blogs, twitters and miniblogs, YouTube and facebook and lots of other sites on Internet, the number of people saying "I am here" is bigger than ever.
This is interesting in the existential analysis as the self should be described as "I am here". The identity is not only a personality but also the situation the person is in. The situation is part of the subject, the identity.
This subject, the "me and my situation" is under constant change. We want that. We want things to get better, in relations, economy, knowledge, health, home and many other aspects. Often things deteriorate instead. Individuals lose their jobs, banks loose a lot of money.
If we ask: How to do to improve the situation, there are probably millions of answers. Get an education, get a job and a nice relation would be common.
But the best answer is: Mind. Mind will get us the identity we want. Nothing else can give us our identity and the things related to it.
The mechanism of mind is that we get (and become) what we do to others. If we are nice to others, our future will be nice. If we help others make money, we will get money ourselves. If we support others in becoming famous, we will be famous ourselves.
The problem is that the mind gives us what we do to others even when we do not want it. If we have done bad things, we will be the victim of badness.
If we know that mind is the important level, we have a reason for not doing meaningless negative things (like bad words and evil impulses) even in secret.
