Poems, Adages, and Thoughts What is self? Oneself should not say
The thing one believes themself to be
Is elusive as dreams, intangible as spirit
Are one's most sincere words more true than that which one does?
For words, even unspoken, are the only things which can lie
I think, therefore i am false
All else is true simply by Being
The thing one ought fear most is self
Self is anger, desire, sloth, and stubbornness.
Self bows to the will of none but its own
Thus one is ever bent, a slave to self.
Serve the self and be king for a lifetime
Deny the self and become sage of eternity
Such a deep and shrouded
Such a deep and shrouded truth. Whatever others may say or see, counting even our estimation, the self IS. Now to bring the thought to the concept of id, ego, and super ego. Much to mull about here. Thanks for sharing.
