I have had a life moto: Never do things just because you can! I believe this reasoning can sepparate a man from an animal (but it is certain that we all have parts of our animal origin within - urges, affects, etc.). This looks simple, but in more than one ocasion, it wasn't! Sometimes it meant that I must supress my ego (which is the size of, well, about Asia!) and this was hard, but I managed. Sometimes it involved sex partners, and... Well, a man IS a man, after all! For me, it can really be a huge task not to do things just because I simply can, and every time I fulfill this task, I learn a new thing about my will power, and, which is indeed very precious for life, about other people and handling situations rationally. That's as far as I got overcoming myself.

Why would you want to overcome yourself. Then you wouldn't be you.

No. I like myself - nothing to overcome.

Have you overcome yourself?
How? what?

YES. I found that my "self" was actually just an accumulation of mental and material factors that I conventionally call self, however non-existant as an integrated inherent self.
So I overcame myself and proved I do not exist as such.

I'm in a transitional place at the moment so am working on it.

By maturing and keeping my realities in check.

Almost...through prayer and faith in God. It is the only way for me to do that.
