Who is "self"? In a perfect world I see this altruistic savoir of the people, a Mother Teresa of sorts. When I see that person I don't see me having fun and sharing time with friends, only helping people. How unrealistic is that? I would guess that my goal is to find a middle ground to who I am and "Mother Teresa" When I look at who I am right now, there are moments I am pleased and moments I am torn as to why I even think the way I do. My friends tell me I am more "normal" then I realize. What a let down that is, I have always wanted to be extraordinary with a twist of eccentric.
So how do we find out "self"? Do we sit and contemplate the universe or just try to be the best person we can be for any given situation. Do we, at the end of the day, go over that days events and hope we don't find a moment that we denied self to the point of hypocrisy. Or is it a little of both, not giving into a situation by going against that gut feeling or our voice of intuition. If any of you know how to find "self" let me know.
