If you can fall in love, are you whole?
What a weird question!
I am who I am no matter what "state" I am in.
Victor's talking about achieving the full potential of one's personal growth, the supposed true-blooming of the "I"... some people believe there is no such thing as an "I", only a shifting and tremulous network of attitudes, memories/experiences, beliefs... some take this latter viewpoint to imply that there can be a point when one becomes a whole, singular "I" (like in Enlightenment or, speaking in less grandiose terms, completely free of neuroses and cognitive dissonance)....
Regardless, merely being who/what one is at a given moment in time, a tautology in any case, doesn't negate the possibility of there coming into existence a more full realization of who you could be.
