The Self Is Not A Self Until It Is Self-Conscious

[wildaugust]

Some observations can be made about identity. Personal failure is tied to identity, for all problems are at their base psychological, and derive from a lack of self-esteem. Depression, anger, insanity, most physical illness, use of alcohol and drugs are all escapes from a self which does not feel good about itself
