Human vs. Self
“Is the theme in literature that places a character against his or her own will, confusion, orfears. Human vs. Self can also be where a character tries to find out who he or she is or comes to a realization or a change in character. Although the struggle is internal, the character can be influenced by external forces. The struggle of the human being to come to a decision is the basis of Character vs. Self.”
You ever look in the mirror and wonder who the image in the mirror is that’s looking directly back at you. They have the same skin brown color skin as you, same brown eye, lower tailored hair cut, wide shoulder, small lips, small black mole underneath the left nasal and skinny rectangle shaped head. Who is that person? Is that really me looking back at myself or a look alike create to mirror me? Yet, that person lives in a totally different world mentally, and feelings different feelings and emotions. We look the same but we don’t feel the same nor act the same and the world we live in mentally are totally different. You ever get the feeling that your not the same person mentally yet you have retained the physical makeup that looks like you but you are really not you. Those who have experienced these feelings, how much time have you wanted to act on these feelings and walk that line outside your so called self. This is a feeling that I have experienced many of time and I’m sure many of you have to but I never like to assume. At times I’ve wanted to walk those lines outside my actually self and who to say I have already. This is what led me to the conflict and Samuel vs. Sam. How many time have I walked the line as Samuel and how many times have I walked the line as Sam and not or been aware of it. I definitely feel one more then the other and vice versa at times. Walking the line as Samuel or Sam the same rules apply unfortunately yet the feeling is different for one.
The question I pose is why is there two rather the one, and is this a conflict of good vs. evil. I think back know and an analyze situations, people, events, animal, nature, environment, technology, etc. and wonder have I created positive or negative opportunity in these factor. Why do I continue to face myself and am I my own enemy. I honestly believe I am my own enemy at times, cause who would know me better then my own self. Why! I think I tend to create situations or events, or whatever you want to call it in which we set ourselves up to fail. I on the other hand am a prefect example of how I am my worst enemy at time. I have created situation that are set up to fail and I'm truly aware of it, or do I do it to sabotage the situation. Why do we do this to ourselve? Not sure, or am I? Are these the real factor or just a small picture to small factor of something bigger? What do we really have to fear from ourselves that we over look the obvious or ignore it? You guy's ever seen the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's"? Great movie! But if you haven’t seen it I would recommend it. It is a chick flix fellas but overall it’s got so great moments and lines. The movie has a lot great lines but here a line that I think more appropriate for this moment.
"You know what's wrong with you, Miss Whoever-You-Are? You're chicken, you've got no guts. You're afraid to stick out your chin and say, "Okay, life's a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness." You call yourself a free spirit, a wild thing, and you're terrified somebody's going to stick you in a cage. Well, baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somaliland. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself. ~ Breakfast at Tiffany's, 1961~
Why do we fight ourselves sometime or should I say why I Samuel M. Hudson Jr. do fight myself. I sometime worried how can a person love himself so much yet fear myself at the same time. I love myself from 10am till 8pm yet fear myself from 8pm till 10am ladies and gentleman. Please let me know if I have lost anyone at this point so I can clarify. The question why can't we love ourselves 24 seven or is this a nature reaction to uncontrollable emotions and situations? I have the ability to do anything I want and say in life and I love it and I embrace it to its fullest sometimes and that when the fear or should I say Sam shows his face.
I AM MY WORST ENEMY!
