Earlier quoted context omitted.

I don't think Paul's saying he's an altruist when he says "I am nothing". It's about not assigning attributes to our identity.

True, I re-read the article and see it now, and agree 100%. However, I still think "I am nothing" is a poor turn of phrase for it. I would prefer "I cannot be labeled" or "I am none of the above".

But "I am nothing" is so much more poetic! :)

Bliss is overrated. The greatest achievements often come from discontented, even tormented people. I for one don't want to live in a world where every book reads like Deepak Chopra.
