Eternal Grin (The Essence part II)

Who are we really, what is the essence of each person?  Genetics, memory, character?  What if the advocates of reincarnation are right and we live more and more?  What is that lives?  Probably many imagine something eternal, wise and beautiful as an elven princess.  What if it’s something completely different?  I disliked myself for the strange expression on my face in many photos, as if I was squinting in the sun too much, since childhood.  What if this is the only way by which I can recognize myself from life to life?  Everything else changes, nationality, gender … And it remains like the smile of a Cheshire cat, like the grin of  Joker?  As a mockery of fate in the face of Madame Blavatsky (no, this is not her expression at all, although a face looks a bit similar).  

Whatever this thought was, but somehow I began to treat myself a bit kinder …
