Cleaving the self
There's a me from past. There's a me that exists now. There's a me in the future (hopefully). Does it do any good to consider these three me's as one? I make excuses for the past me. I push my responsibility on the future me. I never really am conscious of the actual 'me' of now. To live responsibly, to live at my maximum capability, I need to live in now. to be here. to own up the moment. to not begin with the assumption that i will have another chance, that i have enough time, i was the best in the past, that i have proven myself... i must truly cut my past and future self away from me. The me from past is another person. I can judgementally look at him and must see his faults for what they truly are. I shouldn't give him the benefit of doubt of being me. His successes are his successes, so are his failures. His story is his. And everyday i have an opportunity to start anew. I am born anew everyday. And as such, i must not take for granted anything. Mu
