Find ourselves

-Self-

Ever since we were borned it was empty, we had nothing on, we don't understand the action and words of people around us, we don't get any clue from anything around us because we have no knowledge of anything. It was the beginning, we have nothing. Nothing to worry about. Can you imagine being shown to a mirror of your image just soon after you were born? Isn't that abit surprising for ourselves? Now what we'll probably be thinking is, "okay now i saw a woman holding me, and i looked into a mirror i saw the woman whom was holding me, and that little moving thing there, what's that? Okay. No we won't actually be thinking about that, we might intepret it through our own imaginations, and we will never remember how we use to see ourself as. Forever. The self thought we had then was never known. It was nothing.

-Losing Ourselves-

As the clock ticks since the day when we were born, we were exposed to and surrounded by more people. From these people we learnt their facial expressions and slowly adapt to their lip movement and then to the sound that comes out from their lips. From then on, what we do, how we act and who we were no longer applied here, we will start losing ourselves. We will all be merely copying other's movements and actions. At least until we start our primary school educations, never will we be questionning who we are and what are we here for? Simply because we see others react to how we act, and unconsciously we will try to make others satisfy with our actions. While during the process of making others happy, we notice the unhappiness of some whom were not happy from the way we try to act that will make another person happy. For instance, you compromised your friends and decided to play catching with them, the teacher will shout at you disagreeing at what you are doing, because in her point of view what you doing might cause distruption to yourself and others while trying to make your friends happy by playing along with them.


-The Conclusion, there's no self-

With Alexander, comes Cesar, with Cesar comes Gengis Khan, With Gengis Khan comes Napoleon and with Napoleon comes Hitler. History tends to repeats itself, not in the exact same way nor same personalities. But the same concept. Notice the way we think and behaves, through experiences and observance, there are people in the past that thinks and behaves the same way too? They might not be the same person nor might they share the same blood. They are people even though living in different conditions adapts similar philosophy as us. We eat so we can live, we love so we can breed, there's war because there is hate and we manipulate so we can rule. So generally, we are all conformists, we behaves in certain way to be accepted into society. A murderer is not accepted into our society because what he did is deemed heritical to our believes. He shall either be persecuted by capital punishment or be condemned to eternal prison sentence. If in cases that he be released. He will be instituitionalised by his own imprisonment and he will not be able to adapt to the outside world.

"Nothing is impossible, impossible is nothing, will we be able to defy the possibly impossible?"
