i'm saying even those things don't add to identity past delusion
as in for example someone who believes in a cause and works for it will be proud of it and make it part of their identity to feel like they are someone when it doesn't actually make them someone
or someone who dresses a certain way will hold onto that but again it's false to believe the way they dress allows them to be someone
attaching any one thing whether it's a job or belief or action or whatever to identity is delusion at best
my conclusion isn't negative, i'm basically saying one can do anything because none of it matters. it's when we start attaching things to our identity and thus make them important that we start feeling distraught.
