Individuality???

The question arised many times in me about the Individuality of a man, and till now, I was convinced neither with the exsisting philosophies nor have I realized anything.

'What do I do on my own?, is the question, excepting a mere cry after my birth for something, unknown at that time, and, as part of thinking process,
the first thought arose, may be the first questioning 'where?', when I was seeking for food, then might came the powerful thoughts what and why.

May be the cry after the birth (when we had no individuality and were dependents,I think, you shall agree with this) was because of the strong intention to be at the breast for food to satisfy the
feeling of hunger, and, for a shelter to be in the mother's lap, and now, cloth is added.


Does individuality mean acting with our own thoughts? If yes, then, own thoughts must be pure, and if yes, pure thought must be simply the first thought. These thoughts, now eating my mind, would be and are the mere imitators of parents, friends and some books, and if yes, the question of individuality arises again.
I do have my individuality now, which is, for me, nothing but either accomodating the situation for the self or moulding the self according to the situation .
