Who you are

I think it is not irrelevant that we, humans, are embodied.

I mean, it's not as if we're just a spirit which happens to be floating around in a body. In that sense, I'm not a dualist, no indeed. I would like to have a debate with you about this, in case you are one. But not on-line.

But all that being said, I think who you are is separate in some way from how your body is like. Like if your legs don't work, I don't think who you are is a person who can't walk. Although surely not being able to walk will have some impact on you who are -- or more precisely, how you cope with the fact that you are unable to walk.

I also acknowledge that how you look impacts how you feel about yourself. Whereas how you feel about yourself can also impact how you look. And how you take care of your body can absolutely impact how you feel as well as how you look, in addition to the causal relationship between how you look and how you feel.
