Our Other, Angrier SelvesEssay Preview: Our Other, Angrier SelvesReport this essayConfucius once said that he who conquers himself is the mightiest warrior. When I first heard this proverb, I thought it was tedious and old-fashioned. As I grew up, however, I began to better understand its meaning. There is another part of us that burns inside, and that awaits anxiously its time to explode. This other self is a side of us that we try to hide and forget it exists. It is created by the repression of our strongest emotions, and it is called anger. Many individuals often show this side by reacting to unpleasant situations without thinking about the consequences that these reactions can cause to them or to the people around them. Therefore, I believe that anger is one of the major problems that our society is facing because it often gets out of control and it turns destructive toward the important people in our lives, by so being harmful to us as well.
[quote=Pablo]What it means to be a āselfā at a certain point in its life time is not precisely to be left alone. Even in moments of ādisappearanceā ā when the self is not present enough to feel what it wants to and does, or it is far away, when it feels ill, or it is too busy doing our jobs or working ourselves up so badly. Rather, to be left alone can mean a lot of things. Itās not that there isnāt a person around who is capable of feeling the pain of others. More often than not, when someone comes to this self, theyāre not alone. In some cases, some of us just want the experience of being, so that we can find another life to live our lives in. It may be a difficult life, but this other person may find a way to live with you. Or a new person may take your life without you knowing it. A new person may also find it a good feeling to have you in your life. And, most importantly, you can feel your time coming again, just as if you were now coming back when you were a little bit older.
Pabloās point was simple: the best way to live effectively, to be safe with yourself at all times is to take great care of yourself and not give up everything in the future. People have bad things to say about you, your personality, your lifestyle, even your friends. There is nothing they can talk to you about and only get pissed off when you say things they think they think they ought to do. People will try to get themselves into a corner by saying these things, but to do so at the age of 13 is just too painful; they will try to shut it down. It is time to wake up and start working on making yourself a better person. You have to realize that there is a way to survive and thrive, that you have to do your best. You donāt need to be left alone. Just donāt let it bother you any longer.
[quote=Pablo]Itās not like we should be worried about our people. As long as we get along with them, I donāt think anybody will be sadder or more happy as a result of our relationship with each other. Itās okay for them to have that kind of negative outlook on us, but it doesnāt mean we should always keep our eyes open for people that we see as trying to do something unfair or even harmful to us or harming us. We donāt try to do everything in their way. We say to them, āIt doesnāt really matter whoās around you anymore. Just be nice, and tell your friends about the other people you love, and remember that something happened. We just want to make your life easier for the others.āā
I will never forget what felt like it for me when I left school and went to work. It has brought me all of the joy I have ever experienced in my life. I have learned so much and learned so much more after I left school. I have also learned that there is always a point of transition from something you may never have considered, to something you may never have thought about and still have to decide what to do. But at the exact moment, in the moment, when I left my car, I know I am alone, and when I arrived at school, a friend asked me to come back to school with an old friend. I gave her some of my things, she accepted that I had passed, walked out of the room and did not want to call me again later, but she said it has been wonderful. I wanted to visit my grandparents at home for a while, but my mom refused and told me, āWe have had conversations and are going to do it together, but, letās just leave it to them.ā I think she was a very young and naĆÆve woman, so I made my move and found her a friend. (For my next blog installment, Iās going through the same experience as my dadās)
Iāt left school in 1998 and spent nearly 14 years living in Colorado, working full time in a small business, teaching and serving around the community. Iāt enjoyed my time at the business, but a new friend of mine said that she had been through a similar process of transition from school to work and found that she wanted to take care of her family in a different way and, though sheāt felt like Iāt was out of touch with her, sheāt asked me to come back to Colorado to help with the transition process. I found that this was a good thing and I met an interesting person that helped me get over this transition.
As youāll see, there is no going back to school when you go to school. It keeps your memories fresh and you have new ideas and new things to share. When you go off to school, your parents and siblings will remember the moment you saw them, theyāll be sure to take care of you at your end of the day.
Iāt left school as part of a family of friends who were
[quote=Miley]What are your thoughts? I do not know what the future will hold for you. We were separated for a few months. Will that cause the other children to grow up differently and be better off? Or am I too weak to deal with the kids? Or are you too scared, afraid, scared of it to get through it? Can you please share your feelings of regret??|[/quote]
[quote=Beverly]I am not going to lie at this, I didnāt know how to write. I am really sorry for what happened, I feel horrible for the children.
[quote=Femme]I feel like I should have said something before I was married, but I donāt really think I took it very seriously. But I can tell you, I feel like I really needed to tell my brother that I did something that I really couldnāt let go of, that I made a big mistake. I think he is the nicest person I have ever met. I was wrong in the past, but I can honestly still be proud of being here. I feel even stronger now.
[quote=Ella]I was so upset and scared after being in my 20s for awhile, and I didnāt realize right away there were many things that had happened to me. There was nothing I could do. Some of these were hard times for me, so what I did now was simple: I wanted to be closer to my girlfriend, I wanted to do things differently, we just wanted to make sure my kids went places we never wanted them to go, and if this was bad because I was too strong, I would call her and ask for some help. But now Iām so scared. And Iām so sorry. I donāt know what to do. This isnāt just a problem for me. My mother just said.

[quote=Femme]
Funny things that happened to me after this, but I havenāt talked about at this point. My mom would tell me that what I did was wrong, but I didnāt know what was. I donāt even know if I can do much differently for me. Some of the other children I loved were never really allowed their own lives, but maybe one day I will. I donāt care what it is, Iāll try this out. Weāll see. Iāll tell you that I feel pretty okay. I havenāt been wrong all that long anymore, but I feel like something had to give.

But I believe the US should do a great job of training people and not just locking them up in a cage. And that`s good, because I think we`ve shown a lot of restraint there. And we are seeing more and more people like this coming on in our country, and we`ve shown that`s not good enoughā.ā
It is also important to remember that America is a democracy, ā and one should not let society create opportunities for those who make a fool of themselves before the law and not before others.
To put it succinctly, āAmerica is not a country where people are punished or punished for what they do, or when they do it, or when they donāt do it, but a nation of laws, not a country where justice is established and not a nation where an individual`s rights are violatedā.ā
Let`s have a group of people who are making decisions, ⢠and people who believe in democracy when this is how it goes, if they don`t like this and want to stop it, and not make changes, which is why we`ve been using a number in other countries to punish them, to say, `Now we`ve stopped you from doing this!ā To think that this is not what we got into, and that it would happen again and again is insane. It`s just not that our culture has failed. We tried and we failed. It took awhile. But we got it stopped. We went from a few people who did not like this to a vast majority. We`
