Can what you do be separated from who you are

Can what you do
and
what you are
be separated

This theme has been wrestled with by all of us

We could calculate that what you are is the summation of what you do

Which gets us into a grey area in regards to potentiality
decline
And fame

Such as if you claim you are a singer we will believe you can sing and will seek proof

Which is why in this area of sensory deprivation and sensory overload we can be fooled by moving images
Sometimes we enjoy this in regards to the film industry
But then we have photoshop which we may not universally like

We are in an age where we are splintering reality
Think about actors and actresses nowadays they have to if the plot calls for it act with imaginary people and scenery
We could just put that down to an actors/actresses job
But here is the kicker
They can act in a production and not know how the finish article may look
They can see themselves on screen talking to a dragon
All well knowing dragons don't exist and that what they are seeing and what they remember seeing are in two different realities

I previously gave an explanation but here is another one
Couldn't doing be but the physical will plus manifestation of the being

If we look it at in its purest form

Getting back to the acting
We know how someone may represent themselves on screen via a character
That representation is probably not them if definitely not them

In someways many of us toe this line daily

You may work at a job aka doing a profession
That you believe is not you aka being

But is that but a mental divorce especially if you are giving up your time
and energy
especially if this continues for years

I think this is a question we need to grapple with

It has overarching consequence
Like the nature of existence
The righteousness in retribution
How important is the mind
Conscious and subconscious

Ps

Actors don't let their characters get paid instead of them
Imagine if they paid voice actors with currency they drew for the animated film
