Reading from the main blog, I did have some ideas about identity in terms of relationships. Somehow it is similar to having a digital identity where people only show a part of themselves towards a particular group of people. For some people, they don't mix family and friends. Not that they don't want to, it just happens to be that way. Naturally, even though they are being themselves around each group, they could be unconsciously behaving differently.
An interesting thought just came through... What happens then if they lost their memory? They'd have to depend on their family and friends to reconstruct their identity? Or is identity something that is naturally within you?
This reminds me of an American comedy "Samantha Who?", where the main character, "Sam" had an amnesia after an accident. As she tries to find out about her past, she discovered that she was a horrible person and now attempts to reboot her life to instead become the "good" Sam.
