DIRTY chicken MONKEY!!?

Question

Now that I got your attention...

What Do You Think Of Yourself?

When most people think of themselves they have this negative image of what the should/could have been. Like, I asked a gentlemen what he though of himself and he replied, "I think of myself only as a failure of sorts. I didn't go to college, to be a doctor or a lawyer. I missed the chance with a beautiful woman and married one I got divorced to in 5 years.My children hate me, my money is scarce and I am slowing dieing from torture of lonelyness"
What do you think of yourself and why. Is there something you wish you would have done better, or not at all. Or, like me (through all the mistakes I made), are you satified with your life and the way you've lived it...

ANY INPUT WILL BE WELCOMED

Answer 1

SOAP nugget BANANA?!?

(lol)

i think it's my life if i like it...and i made the way it is...
and you know i really wouldn't have it any other way... (whether it sucks sometimes...or whether it's the best thing in the world...i'd rather make that way on my own then go about wishing and then *poof* done...

oh and i'd say to the guy who said all that..."well you've had some messed up luck and made a couple bad choices...
but you know you still got tomorrow (hopefully) so if your unhappy about something...go out and see what you can do to make it better.

(like go out and find that girl...go back to college..get a better job. all those really are within his power if he truly wanted it...sometimes all we really need to make things into a reality is courage, hope and determination to do so.)

Answer 2

"throughout life the soul in meditation deep"

I think I am a dreamed up bit of what is there when my mind stops its ceaseless chattering. I think I am spirit playing at birth and death and what's between, similar to the way I might attend a theme park or a movie.

Sometimes I hear people say it is all an illusion, and I suspect this is entirely true. For most of my life what has felt appropriate was not to think about the roller coaster tracks or to wonder where the director is standing, but to throw my hands in the air and fill my lungs and scream. For decades, I have been aware that this is a choice.

As I get older, I become more engaged with the park/theater/world. So I find myself moving into a more alert way of being. It is very similar to pulling my eyes away from a movie and looking at the other seats or walls of the theater.

I still find myself deep in the show, but I occasionally look at what permeates this experience and what I see is love.

Answer 3

One of Kierkegaard's more apt statements was, "The most painful state of being is remembering the future, particularly one you can never have." This is one suffering in particular that is exclusive to the intelligent - a fool has no idea what he might have had or might be capable of, after all.

But to get to the meat of your question, I think of myself in a more broad context than many people probably do: I am everything that is in my mind.

I am the sun falling on the grass on a lazy summer day. I am a tenth-grade textbook on physics. I am a child starving in Africa. I am eleventh-century Japan. I am a story told from one adolescent to another when the adults aren't listening.

These things are all part of me. And much, much more. I accept them all. I am truly immense... I spend a lot of time simply marveling at my self. I am beautiful and I am terrible at the same time.

And I see you are now part of me too. Peace.

Answer 4

I consider myself an unclean cross between a rooster and a primate - that's why you got my attention in the first place.

Answer 5

I think I could always use improvement(LOTS), but all in all I'd like to be friends with myself if I were someone else.

Answer 6

My life is irrelevant as are all lives. I have enough to eat and play my vid games and that's my life. If I "accomplish" something or nothing, the universe doesn't care.
