- We are the people we are, but we are also the people we want to be.
- Just by wanting to be a certain way makes us that certain way. Just by wanting to be a certain kind of person, we are closer to being that kind of person (because we already want to)
- By saying that we "are a certain way" might not mean that we are, but by saying we "want" to be a certain way, we are the kind of person we want to be.
- Sounds like the same thing, but it has value. (I hope)
