Good point. Buechner once used a fable from hinduism about a tiger cub raised 
by
goats to illustrate. The tiger cub didn't know its true identity because it 
never saw one of it's own kind. It could only emulate those who raised him. 
It wasn't until he met up with a real tiger that he recognized what he truly 
was. Christ is our tiger.  The closer we get to finding our identity in him 
the closer we get to being who we really were meant to be all along.
