Stupid Argument I Thought Of

[Zenith]

We are what we do.

We do what we want.

Therefore we are what we want to be.

(It's obviously completely flawed because premise 1 is unsound).

well, of course, I'm a critic:

1. We aren't what we do. What we do changes us, but we are more than what we do (personality, motives, yearns, etc.).

2. Many times we don't do what we want. Besides of the obligatory things, we also believe what the society wants us to believe, do what it wants us to do, etc. Even the manipulated mind believes that is free, anyway. And we can't check which of our beliefs is what we found out alone and which are those that others wanted us to believe (e.g. a man can despise a nation because the society despises it and because it teaches in that way, and may believes that his despise comes from his own reasoning).

3. We can't be what we want to be, mostly. And many times this fact causes frustration.
