"A human being is neither the present static identity nor the intangible future goal. We are constituted rather by our freely chosen relationship between present indentity and end. Personhood therefore necessarily involvews both the facts that determine us and the movement beyond these facts to what we seek to become. it involves essence and existence, self-possession and sefl-dispossession, introspection and ecstacy, presernt and future, the real and the ideal, the indicative and the conditional. It involves what is true and what could be."- Stephen Wang, Identity and freedom in being an Nothingness; Philosophy now
