  1. definately not stolen identity, i’d have to say being stripped of one’s memory. what kind of question is this anyway…?

  2. Stripped memory, because ‘selling your soul’ just means giving up on your supposed ideals, and that just reveals even more of you. Stolen identity just means you’re not as original as you thought, or you have to call your credit card company.

  3. ‘Worst’ is an entirely subjective value judgment and depends on the individual. Also, the word is ‘worse’, not ‘worst’.

    Which is worse for YOU? That’s all that matters.

  4. None.
    No money for the Toll Booth cause ya thought you had Easy Pass.

  5. What is worst is if something valued and remembered as valuable is lost and never can be retrieved, returend, or replenished. You figure out the rest because some or all of the three types of losses can be literal or figurative.

  6. Selling of soul….worst, absolute worst.
    Stolen identity does not interfere with who and what you are. Its a pain to get it right again, but in the end, you have lost nothing of yourself.
    Stripped memory…while its sad, frightening and painful for the ones forgotten, its not for the person who was stripped. Its simply a chance to learn, discover all over again. In some ways, ti can even be a blessing. If you had all kinds of self doubts, etc, before, they are forgotten, and you work with a clean slate.
    Selling your soul is something you will never forget, never come to terms with and sours everything in your life. Its an unbearable burden, a denial of everything you hold dear…its the ultimate loss.

  7. I would have to say sold soul. Your identity is about money… Money is only the root of evil that is nessary for personal gain. Memory is who your earthly self and experinces are, you can find pictures, and make new memorie.. If your soul is sold. There is no redemption, no peace, no recovery, no coming back. What you are experincing now is as good as it will get. There is no Hope of things getting better.

  8. Speaking as Ms Jane Doe, I can surely say that….
    What were we Talking about?
    Okay, Thanks! I, being Sue Smith, would change not one bit if I……
    Lost it…..
    Well, No Matter What it Was…..

    My Name can be Copied…That is Not my Doing.
    My Memory Fades with Time…That is Nature.
    My Soul is my Own, and NEVER for Sale! That is my Choice.

    Free to be Me,

  9. If you sold your soul, that would be a choice (not one I’d take) so it can’t be the worst.

    If your identity is stolen, as per the recent spate of identity theft, that could be quite trying, but I could take steps to correct it or at least lessen the problems.

    But if my memory is stripped… I cannot imagine losing my thoughts of my son being born, my first kiss, my first love. It would be as frustrating as hell not knowing these people who say they are my grown children and not feeling that warmth that comes from a shared life together. To feel like a stranger in my own family would be crushing and terrible.

    Peace

  10. An identity can be regained, if you’ve lost your wallet or someone has ruined your image you can establish yourself by coming to terms with the loss & starting again. This is the lesser of the 3, I think.
    Soul, which in your phillosophy is the image of self or worth, can also be regained. These days a person’s worth is measured in their possessions, how much they contribute to society & how much of standing they have in society. Someone’s worth is relevant to how other poeple perceive them. The old idea of soul, when we refer to the religious beliefs is a whole new world of loss. In theory you do loose your worth. If you are a religious person then loosing your soul could be the worst possible thing to happen becuase you loose what it means to believe in something _ that the soul of a person is what drives them to continue & is the source of their beliefs. But as I’m not religious I think the loss of worth could also be regained with the propper support.
    The worst would be the loss of memory. Its what makes us into whom we are, its what we have to build on & shape our lives from, our concience & judge of right and wrong. To loose memory is also to loose history, not only of yourself but of those around you. You loose everything that you held, the love for people, the actual emotions behind knowing what to be emotional about. Loss of memory cannot be regained. We may see images of ourselves in places, with people but we’ll never know the history behind it for our point of view. You’ll have your friends stories but never your own.

  11. Memory. Because without it I wouldn’t be who I am.

  12. Stolen memory.During my lifetime I have learned a lot of things I can’t imagine another person knowing.Without my memory I’ll probably suicide.

  13. Obviously, the last option.

  14. A stolen identity can always be recovered or even replaced with a new one, if one so desires. A stripped memory is far worse as it leads to one not knowing anything about their own history, family, or sense of “purpose” in the world around him or her. One’s loss of one’s self-worth is the result of the loss of memory, not of a “sold soul.” It is not feasible for one to willingly give up their own sense of self, as one is always aware of oneself, barring any loss of self-awareness.

  15. *Without identity, you still have your life and your memories: yet you can regain your identity or create a new one-you still have life in you.

    *Without memory, you’re still alive and can live, yet memory can come back or you can create new memories, even if only for a day or even in increments of 5mins at a time.

    *but without the soul where are you?

  16. the soul is all you have after your earthly body is dis-carted.

  17. well…you can’t sell your soul for it is not yours to sell and who the hell would by it.

    stripped memory, once it is gone the slate is clean therefore you have no recollection of anything therefore you have only the future of which you would be able to mold and make anew and on your own terms.

    stolen identity is another issue, for in that you certainly lose more than your persona, you lose money, you lose your means to buy things, and you have to spend a great deal to get it all cleared up. You have both your soul and your memory to add to the pain and suffering a stolen identity causes… that is why its a good idea to have really bad credit and no money in the back……then you don’t have to worry about a thing! Or better yet have the irs after you …believe me no one wants them on their backs….

  18. I would say that the worst thing that can happen to anyone would be Sold Soul. What can anyone do without a Soul, we would be in Limbo.

  19. An identity is never stolen that is not lost. If you treasure who you are, it doesn’t matter who has your license. New memories can be formed… and memories do not form a person, just a life’s past. But a soul is the epitome of one’s true self. Without your soul, you are a void, nothing more than an empty carcass.
    So what is worse? A sold soul.

  20. Sold soul. You can have my identity – if it really means that much to you. You can have my memory – I’ll make new ones. But my soul is mine to keep in spite of it all.

  21. a stripped memory because then i would never remember the happier times in my life…=}

  22. 1. You can always get another identity and you know who are you really are anyway.

    2. I wouldn’t mind it if they stripped more of the bad memories away.

    2. Well alot of devout religious people would find this beyond awful but since I’m not the devout religious type and more spiritual so therefore it doesn’t bother me too much.
    There’s a site where you can create something to put on your page etc and whenever people click on it, it tells them you have their soul now lol.

    I’m ignoring the last question since you’ve asked too much already lol.

  23. It’s not yeat possible to know if souls exist and an identity can potentially be rebuilt by using memories so……… you choose the one you can spare.

  24. Stolen identities surface only on documents. They’d take your name, your birthdate, your address, your records, etc.,..but you’d still be you. In all truth, who we really are cannot be altered or snatched away. We are who we are with our own fingerprints and DNA’s.
    Stripped memory as in loss of awareness about what had happened could be therapied back. If not, we only drift into the unconscious zone of our brain; remembering nothing of the past,..or nothing at all. And yet, there would always be a chance, no matter how slim, to wake up into consciousness and start a new set of memories again.
    To sell our souls,..to the one who’s been longing to have it in any way it could, the devil himself, would be the worst thing ever. A sold soul would be another devil’s advocate. And the one who lost it would be like an empty broken vase trampled to the ground…with NO USE at all…except perhaps to cut and wound those bare feet that might walk over it.

  25. Stripped memory. I worked out long ago I don’t have a soul. So I can’t sell it, or lose my SELF while I have memory – merely change. And however I change I’m still me, with whatever sense of worth or identity I have. So someone might pretend to be me, but they can’t really steal my identity. Identity, memory, and soul, are all illusions – but without memory (as in alzheimer’s disease) my persona would certainly change!

  26. This one is tough for me. If my memory were lost, I’d create new memories from that point forward. I certainly wouldn’t want my identity to be stolen. Selling my soul sounds like a rather “shady” deal. So, I just figured it out! Selling my soul.

  27. The sold soul, & i’ll tell you why
    A stolen identity can either be fairly good or bad
    A stripped memory that may have contained a worse past & hoping for a better future
    A sold soul means that a person that don’t appreciate life & doesn’t even appreciate being alive, how more can someone lose himself by adapting the persona of a devil.

  28. I would say that stripped memory or sold soul would be both as bad as the other because a stripped memory loses who you are because you are who you are from the experiences you have had if you can’t remember them how can you be you and as for the sold soul your soul is your very existence on a spiritual level, knowledgeable level your soul is your most inner part of you without it you cannot define who you truly are. Stolen identity- not so much while it may cause alot of financial trouble and stress you are still you, they can steal your name, identity but they can’t steal your soul, personality, spirit, experiences or memories.

  29. Identity doesn’t matter, that only records you on earth, you are still yourself; stripped memory has no meaning because once you die and go to Heaven you will get it back; selling one’s soul is the worst thing you could do. Because the soul is so deep, priceless, created by God; nobody can recreate it, and your soul cannot be duplicated. Your soul is the worst thing to sell.

  30. sold soul is always s the worst.stealing one’s identity is the next worse and being stripped of memory is not wrong because they didn’t commit sin for themselves.

  31. stolen identity means somebody has intentionally stolen your identity and that is the mandatory case because in such case criminal has not given you any option to save your identity and it comes to your knowledge that your identity is stolen after it is a stolen by the criminal.criminal is the criminal because he has caused offence.crime can also be of moral type and crime is moral as well legislative crime.
    but if your identity is lost then it is the optional case
    means you were aware and on the other hands ignorant .
    in the case it is considered that a person has due to his faults/blunders lost his identity
    in other case a person is knowing that danger is around but ignorant and letting a criminal , moral criminal to play his role of making your identity a lost one.
    memory places a very confusing role it makes you laugh when you are recalling your moments when you used to cry and makes you to weep when you are recalling those moments when you used to laugh with our friends or family.
    hard one too and cheerish too.
    selling soul means you are selling your conscience, your faith, your values, your good person and when it is sold a man is like a devil then he will play a role of criminal stealing idenities
    so worst is soul
    whatever you lose. lose it but not your soul

  32. Stolen identity is a crime of which we are victim…there is no loss of honor……it is unpleasant and troublesome, but this can be repaired…..

    Stripped memory is a form of death, the body lives but the part that made us human, the mind, is gone… again we are usually a victim, and there is no loss of honor, unless we destroyed it ourselves with chemical abuse…

    Selling our souls is the worst because it is a dishonorable act that we choose….We commercialize the most personal and precious part of ourselves for some form of personal gain…and barter with it as if it were a commodity…this debases ourselves…we are not innocent victims…we are the perpetrator of our own misfortune and loss….

  33. sold soul is worst!!!
    Identity being stolen, or having amnesia would suck big time of course, I certainly would not choose that.
    But the thing about a sold soul, is that that is a CHOSEN state of being! Someone so power hungry or desperate (or whatever the case may be) that they would desecrate their body and become a shell!

  34. seeling one’s soul.

  35. Sold SOUL

  36. SOLD STOLE YOU WILL NEVER GET IT BACK.

  37. STOLEN SOUL and SOLD IDENTITY hehehe

  38. I don’t know about anyone esle but I’m keeping my soul.God would take care of the rest.Your deep.

  39. sold soul. because you know your doomed.

  40. Well, I believe that sold soul is the worst possible especially if it was stolen first since that equates an enslaved soul,. But your question as it is phrased is a logical fallacy as I believe it displays distinctions that are wholly or partly different as if they were one and the same. Reading as follows in the second part of your question “which equals to loss of one’s s
    Self (worth or persona).” In my opinion sold soul=loss of Self, stolen identity=loss of worth and stolen memory=loss of persona. Selling one’s own soul conotes free will and choice, stripped memory is a void of accumulated experiences which may or may not be retrievable , stolen identity is somone utlizing your name or likeness for whatever purposes. I maintain that an enslaved soul is the worst possible of existences because one’s essence is taken by force and bartered against one’s will. With each of the last three circumstances there is hope, hope that you can clear your name or likeness, hope that your experiences can be relived or relearned (and we must also consider the fact that many of us do not want to remember everything we’ve experienced), hope that you can escape your captivity or be set free. But if one sells thier own soul they are SOL because you did it to yourself and whomever or whatever that now owns it (you) made an eternal deal.

  41. first of all you can’t sell your soul, it’s not really yours to begin with.
