I don't pretend to know everything. That's impossible. I meant *my* truth, about who I am, really.[/quote]
Fair enough, but I would again argue that no one's ever even pulled that much off. Knowing yourself is a much more difficult task than most people realize, and I have yet to meet someone who seemed like they even understood themselves. You could no doubt find endless tomes from great minds just trying to find themselves in any library as well.
To paraphrase Lao Tzu, knowledge is the root of all ignorance. I'm only here playing devil's advocate, to ask if you can be sure that you really know yourself, or if, when you think about it, you'll find that the "self" is a much more illusive goal than most imagine it would be.[/quote]
I am hypocritical. I am lazy. I am occasionally arrogant, but I hate that particular trait and do my best to be rid of it. I am very passive-aggressive and find it difficult to make decisions for myself. I both hate and love my fellow man, for their idiocy and their ingenuity respectively. I find it hard to think of myself as female and I inherently believe everyone is my equal, though perhaps in different ways. I have a habit of tearing myself apart with guilt for the tiniest things or thoughts. I do not believe in being happy that a human being is dead, no matter how horrible they were. I wish I could stay a child forever. I wish I was perfect. I wish that I could act freely without inhibitions.
