Do I like being me?

Self exploration...something that probably each one of us does, but do we really take what we find seriously? Or do we even explore into ourselves that cynically? Do we dare to look at our faults and correct them? What is the actual ultimate purpose of life? Is it the fact that I look into the mirror one day and smile seeing what I see? Am I a complete individual in that sense? Am I going towards being one? Do I actually like myself? What I have made of myself, my beliefs, my thought processes, my justification of right and wrong, my regrets, my choices. And at the end of the day, does it really matter if my neighbor thought I was a lovely person just becasue I walked his dog every day? Or the only thing that actually makes any sense is the inner sense of being, the fact that I believed in what I thought I wanted, stuck on to it till the end? Do our impressions and ideals ever change over time? Or do they just undergo transitions so gradual that they seem to be rock solid?

>>.... do we really take what we find seriously?

We always take it seriously. Because it is about us. But rarely does any one dare to accept what he/she found.

Why should we explore ourselves cynically ? Should not we explore ourselves truthfully ?

>> Do we dare to look at our faults and correct them?

Do we even know how to correct them ?We have habits and mental blocks. Both non-tangible things. But we know how to get rid of them ? Some one might say we can get rid of them by being determined. But those of us who are not determined by default, do we know how to be determined ?

What if the inner sense of being wants recognition ? What if what you want is appreciation from the neighbour whose dog you always take for a ride ?

I know all I have done here is raise questions. And rarely posing a question for a question, answers the question. But it does a perspective to think over.
