How would you know what kind of person you are without the measurement from another. If you were the only one among hundreds of crazy people put onto a deserted island, would you be considered normal or would they… It is tough to really put into thought how you would rate yourself in this manner to everyone else in the world. Everyone has an idea of where they stand, but is it realistic to count on your own judgment. Some more egotistical than they should be. Some with lowered self esteem for no reason. And some with no clue at all. But scale to scale, we do judge the self on the measure of others. They say that the only person that you should worry about what they think is yourself… ain’t that wishful thinking…
With our personalities manufactured in a materialistic world by media, by government, and the general thoughts of others, no wonder we are such mindless zombies… ready to believe whatever we hear. Gossip is truth. Follow the crowd to known deceptions. Eyes closed and arms open. People shout war and guns are raised. Laughter related to hate. And tears without merit.
The
self is an entity that we know too little about and is the last thing that
we begin to understand. The desert oasis. Understand the self before the world
can come to focus… sometimes the blind can only hear the beating of
its own heart…
