People with no desire to be individuals, with seperate entity, but satisfied by just following the masses just like a sheep in the herd, would never understand this term identity crisis. Because they never has had that joy of being "special" or being an individual"... they are just one among many many people, only one among in class, and only just one person like many other faces we see in the mobs. Because they never learned to earn, or make name or fame in the place they live, nor have a skill to exhibit, or a life with sepcial talents to be praised for.To such people loosing Identity is not a problem , because it was not there at all. They are the most selfish people who live only for themselves, eat for themselves, and enjoy the life they have but never bother about others nor even try to know how others are living ,fearing that they may need to extend their hand to help them cause they are afraid to sparer a little time or energy or money for others. ' all the time. They just live, eat, and spend their time as they like. In a way, they have their own life style where they would never bother of any body else except they themselves.. They are accustomed to live in their own cocoon life without any pattern of life which is dictated to them by the higher authorities. In a way theirs is a' fools paradise'.
But people like us, who started to work right from the very tender youthful days, that is from 22 years of age itself, we have earned a status in the society, a recognition by the people around, a work to do for the benefit of others, especially the youngsters, whose life being molded by us, rather a sacred duty in our jobs, and also which fetches an earning which made us not to be dependent on any body, even on husbands as the other housewives do.; gives us a great satisfaction of life successful. The employment keeps us away from the unnecessary links in the society. We choose what associations we want to be members in our leisure time. Thereby we enjoy a sort of respect in the society and have an IDENTITY of our own.
There comes the question of Identity , and when we come to the end of that job, we feel we lost some identity there by facing some crisis. oh this is definitely a passing phase in our lives. Because we lived a beautiful life wherein we have been useful not only to ourselves , our families but for the public too.
our families our parents were proud of us, for the work we rendered, and the way we lived independently. that gives us a great lot motivation to live and get back that identity once again, even though it may not be the same identity but of a different sort, and by all means an identity which we will be again to be happy to have, and the society and friends be proud of.
This dark phase of Identity crisis would be only a steps of life. Because living lazily is not in our dictionary, we will work and work till we are happy with ourselves, but not like that people who never bother to have an useful life for others.
