Aristotle said, in his Nicomachean Ethics, that, for an action to be Voluntary, it must find its Origin withing the Agent of the Action. If it does not begin there, then it may as well not occur Anywhere. The Origin of the action should be the agent's own internal Mothivations, or the Action is, then, false and Ignorant.
Right now, i've been debating over some changes. These changes include my manner of Speech (i quote a lot), my manner of dress (perhaps some more white shirts), my demeanour (self-destructive, depressed/-ive, angry/-ering, &c., &c.), and the way i express and portray all of these. Which of these do you think was actually From Me?
i don't like my long bouts of depression. The cause me problems. Most people get frustrated. They walk away. But the disection of that is for later.
The other factors up for consideration are of NO Consequence, once you get to know me. Am i right? The quoting, i'll grant, can be annoying. Expecially if you don't know that about which i quote. But that's only a minor thing. The clothing? i wear black. It's a colour. i like it. i like the way it looks, feels, and services, with anything. Pretention has nothing to do with it.. i don't think it makes me "cool," or "smart," or what-have-you. i think it fits, matches my other clothes, and looks pretty on me. ^_^. It is a predisposition of mine. But anyway, the point of all of this is that i like me. You all know this. i may not always Love Me, but i like me. i like who i am, what i do, the way i dress. i refuse, Stolidly Refuse to drastically change myself, simply for someone else's benefit. If there is the motivation, the Origin, in mebeforehand, then things will be thought about.
i like an outside perspective, but, when it comes down to it, i keep my own Counsel. Things will either change, in me, or they won't. Either way, you'll all be the second to know. It's difficult. i'm trying to piece it all together. Bear with me.
Day Dream Well.
