The identity is divided on the one hand into a base which is in us without us being able to draw a particular merit, our nature and the education (culture) that we have received, and a constitutive movement of life which discovers elements which are not listed by our nature or our education, but which must be read at the height of our nature and our education.
A good part of this process takes place without us even having to think about it. It is however essential, essential and obliges us to the permanent revision of this nature and this education, as well as the permanent revision of these new elements through the prism of our nature and our culture.
The balance is essential: to be at the crossroads of our nature and our culture. Which involves knowing them both. No question of forgetting or worse of not being aware of our nature, of forgetting or worse of losing the benefits of our education, to approach the shores of novelty or we will be nothing than a flag eliminated in the wind. We will have no criteria to judge the novelty and we would risk seeing this novelty only a novelty, and to enter it for this. There is no knowledge out of oneself that can escape the sieve of our nature and our culture.
