Old, ugly, tired, mean, fat, and broke
I recently overheard a conversation between two Southerners.  One man asked how the other one was doing.  The other man answered saying, “I am old, ugly, tired, mean, fat, and broke.”  Now there, I humorously thought to myself, is a man who really knows who he is!  He was in touch with his identity and he responded with simple clarity.  Most of us, however, have a difficult time simply and succinctly answering the question, “Who am I?”
