I'm having a bit of an identity crisis, mainly because of a sudden shift into uncertainty of the answer to this question:
Is it better/more real/can more good come from/more Godly to do, or to be?
What all are your answers?

Well, do you believe in any religions? We need to know that before we can start harassing you with advice.

The answer would vary, depending on what you are refering to. Sometimes it may be better to be something, or it may be better to do something.

Neither. The two are inextricably linked. Our actions define us, and who we are affects our decisions (and thereby actions). So, by doing you are, and by being you do. That answer your question?

This page is mildly interesting, too (along similar lines.)
And of course:

I think I recall seeing that list of quotes, or something like that, elsewhere... I do (or is it be?) think that's fairly humorous.

Here's my bit of advice: Don't trust your identity to anybody but yourself.

Yeah...
Now, of course, I don't want to grow up. All I want to do is snuggle my girlfriend in front of a good movie, but instead, I've got to do a crapload of stuff, involving homework, applications to grad school, finals, etc.
Bleh.

Don't we all...
...well, that "girlfriend" part may pose a problem, but oh well. Nothing I can't look past!

As far as the "Be/Do" question... It would depend on whether the thing one is is relative, or absolute. If you are relative, then it would be equal to do something. If you are absolute, then you are far beyond the previous two.
