And the quest begins.

Self-discovery, right?

I'm pretty sure there is not one person in the world who really knows who they are inside, and I doubt there ever will be.

But why is this the Great Human Obsession?

Who am I inside? Who am I outside? What do people think of me? What do I think of myself?

If you ask me, it's all pretty conceited and egocentric.

MEMEMEMEMEME! Me! Me! ME! Who likes ME? Who hates ME? What do I think of ME? Who is ME?

And yet we're told not to be self-obsessed.

I'm finding ME. I'm finding MYSELF. I want to do this so portray ME! My true SELF. And this will benefit ME!

But really, WILL it benefit you?

No, not really. It's a waste of time. Humans want to know about themselves, but this doesn't help current problems like world hunger or fighting cancer. Or what about those people dying? I bet THEY aren't thinking of MEMEMEMEMEMEMEEEEEEEE all the time.

There's a difference.

Finding yourself versus finding the solution.

You choose.
