Have you ever wondered who are you?

as in ..

your true self.

" The true nature of one, can only be revealed, when he is alone and if & only if , he is unobserved."

-   Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Example 1:

A model student of  X primary school, scored good grades and have a good conduct in school 

BUT..

when he's alone, he always likes to play with the rocks by the railway &  hence,

he is a bad boy.

Example 2:

A hooligan who sprays paint on houses that have debt by day

BUT..

when he's alone, he always feed the stray dogs at the expense of his own cash & hence,
he is a good guy.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't accept  Ella Wheeler Wilcox's way of describing the nature of true self.

Reason... being..


It is said that true self can only exist if one is alone or if & only if one is unobserved, 

 how can it be true/proven?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have you heard of a Japanese film named " Battle Royale " ?

Battle Royale

This film was banned in several countries such as Taiwan, New Zealand ....

Ok, basically it is about 42 9th graders who were sent to a deserted island. They were given a map, food, and various weapons. An explosive collar was fitted around their neck. If they broke a rule, the collar explodes.

Their mission:

kill each other and be the last one standing. The last survivor is allowed to leave the island. If there is more than one survivor, the collars explode and kill them all.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can you imagine that? Bunch of good friends started killing one and another just for one reason.

Survive.

As you watch the entire process of the massacre, then you will ( at least for me ) came to the realization that true-self only exist in the presence of human interaction.
                                                                     


                                                                                                        lost?

When someone is pointing a gun at you & you managed to hurt the aggressor with the weapon in your hand & suddenly some random chap pops out and threw a grenade at your direction. Given this complex & hostile situation, each of you are revealing the primeval behavior of mankind which may highly be, your true identity.


                                                                                                          get it? 

Human interaction is the most accurate way in seeing your true self.

what i wanna say is .........

It doesn't matter whether or not one's true identity can only seen when he's alone. That's the not main point, not at all.

                                                 Everyone needs time alone.

                                                                 right?

                                                           even you right?

Because when one is alone, he could release whatever forms of energy that he's feeling like it, whether is it negativity or positive.

Again..

                                                   Everyone needs time alone.

You need time alone to do stuffs that you only allow yourself to be involved

1) sitting by the toilet bowl & analysing the poop that you took yesterday but forget to flush 

2) avoiding the lines between each tiles while walking & pretending they have lasers

3) reading this blog



IN CONCLUSION ,

The main reason why we like to spend time alone, is to take a break from interaction so we could excel or do better in the next one.

And so i realised,

this toy named true identity,

doesn't really exist,

PS: I'm not emo. 

Hope you enjoy!
