how do you explain yourself?

Answer 1

uhhh *looks around nervously* i didnt do it *runs off*

Answer 2

You must constantly ask yourself these questions: Who am I around? What are they doing to me? What have they got me reading? What have they got me saying? Where do they have me going? What do they have me thinking? And most important, what do they have me becoming? Then ask yourself the big question: Is that okay? Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change

Answer 3

Over a nice BBQ with friends close by. Well, thats how I would like to.
In a nutshell..."I am a product of my thought life" Can't point a finger at mom and dad for my short comings anymore...darn!

Answer 4

I don't. I have no obligation to explain or justify to anyone or for any reason. I have that luxury in life.

From time to time, there may be curiousity on my part to understand myself, but that is also a luxury that I can indulge in or not.

Answer 5

There is no gun to my head so, why would I ? I owe no person, place, thing, time or event an explanation ! Unless this question has a point beyond the obvious, it gets no answer.

The Phenomenology of Mind

FREE CONCRETE MIND (1)

VI. SPIRIT (1)
Spirit
Φ 438. REASON is spirit, when its certainty of being all reality has been raised to the level of truth, and reason is consciously aware of itself as its own world, and of the world as itself. The development of spirit was indicated in the immediately preceding movement of mind, where the object of consciousness, the category pure and simple, rose to be the notion of reason. When reason “observes”, this pure unity of ego and existence, the unity of subjectivity and objectivity, of for-itself-ness and in-itself-ness — this unity is immanent, has the character of implicitness or of being; and consciousness of reason finds itself. But the true nature of “observation” is rather the transcendence of this instinct of finding its object lying directly at hand, and passing beyond this unconscious state of its existence. The directly perceived (angeshcaut) category, the thing simply “found”, enters consciousness as the self-existence of the ego-ego, which now knows itself in the objective reality, and knows itself there as the self. But this feature of the category, viz. of being for-itself as opposed to being — immanent-within-itself, is equally one-sided, and a moment that cancels itself. The category therefore gets for consciousness the character which it possesses in its universal truth — it is self-contained essential reality (an und für sich seyendes Wesen). This character, still abstract, which constitutes the nature of absolute fact, of “fact itself”, is the beginnings of “spiritual reality” (das geistige Wesen); and its mode of consciousness is here a formal knowledge of that reality, a knowledge which is occupied with the varied and manifold content thereof. This consciousness is still, in point of fact, a particular individual distinct from the general substance, and either prescribes arbitrary laws or thinks it possesses within its own knowledge as such the laws as they absolutely are (an und für sich), and takes itself to be the power that passes judgment on them. Or again, looked at from the side of the substance, this is seen to be the self-contained and self-sufficient spiritual reality, which is not yet a consciousness of its own self. The self-contained and self-sufficient reality, however, which is at once aware of being actual in the form of consciousness and presents itself to itself, is Spirit.

The Will is positive, the Judgment is negative.

i am no longer a young man...therefore "EXPLAIN YOURSELF, YOUNG MAN..." does not apply to me and i take full advantage of that and just be myself and leave them all with that deer in the headlights expression when they are in my presence.

Answer 9

Why do I NEED to try to explain myself to others? I am myself. Let them TRY and label me!

Answer 10

Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth.....it can't be done...
