Your actions, reactions, what you say and do *are* the real you. Everything else is simply your ego insisting on itself. The body we move around in the world and how we move it, *IS* for all intents and purposes our *real* self. (don't believe this, here's an example, we all know one of these : someone who insists they are in fact a good person and mean nothing but the best but in fact goes around hurting people on purpose all the time. well obviously their ego insists that they are good, but their actions aren't, no matter what their ego says

I've been trying to step back and analyze my behavior. And yes, I don't like what I'm seeing in a lot of cases.
And for the things I do in my day to day, any thing I write here sounds to me like I'm standing on Jerry Springer shouting out, "You don't know me, you don't know me!" But my actions, reactions and what I say and do from day to day are not what is posted on live journal. It is filtered through what I write, and what other people write. The same is true of everybody I would gather.
I'm not saying I'm a better person then what I try to write about myself. I'd like to think I'm fairly honest, but that could be me kidding myself. I could quote two very extreme examples from both sides, one who makes herself out to be a horrible person, and is one of the nicest people I've ever met, and one who you would think is writing about a totally different person once you have gotten to know her

To try and save something that can’t be saved, because as rotten as the outside of the zombie is, the internal organs are much much worse.
Just a week ago you said there's nothing that can't be saved. Come around to my way of thinking this quick?
