Its probably been said a thousand times a million better ways then i can say it... but here it goes anyway....


When one becomes the other to oneself how can one not be anything but lost. Yet, how can one NOT be the other to ones Self since any sort of self exploration or self identity must first leave the Self in order to look back. But once one has left the Self the Self from which one has come no longer exists as such, but rather exists as a preceived thing. A myth. Said again, if in seeking the Other i create an other which is other then the object of my attention then it seems clear that the same things must occur when i look at myself. Thus the ever so famous `know thyself` is an impossibility. The Self (in-itself) cannot be known. If this famous phrase of worldly wisdom is to mean anything at all then it couldmean to `Create A self`. But even this seems to be someone redundent since one cannot help but to create a self and the self which one creates can never match up with the Self that one actually is. Thus introspection can be nothing but a sort of conflict or civil war between the Self and the self. Or rather the Self that I am and cannot know and the self that I create but is not me.

The only light at the end of the tunnel may be that our famous phrase might be saved at last if it is changed even further. `Create a self in which one might be happy to be` In that even if the Self cannot be known atleast that effect of the Self may be seen, implying that it may be known When the self and the Self seek a truce which never the less acknowledge the inability to converge. Of course, `happiness` here is but the word in which i have placed meaning in and thus need not expand to your own interpretation.

ok so i really have not thought this to the end and the opinion is somewhat laughable, old, and unintelligently presented... but atleast im thinking again....
