The search for identity involves, first of all, recognizing the stable element in the most disparate and distant manifestations, i.e., recognizing the cohesion that emerges during the development of the personality. Sometimes the task is not easy, and this cohesion is not identified in actions, but in a more or less manifest intention, without which what is experienced becomes confused. Identity exists, however, because the individual does not fall apart or become someone else—and finding it is always revealing.
