Journal Entry 10 - Know Thyself


When you ask a person “Do you know yourself?” Some people might reply with they know or they don’t know. But, the question is asking what is the real “you”? I need to admit that although I understand my personalities, I do not understand what is the real me. Take the example that Mr. McCool gave us in class today, when a devastating disaster is coming. Will I be the one crying and calling mommy? Or I will guilefully using other people to save my life? Honestly, I don’t know the answer and I haven’t discovered the real characteristics, which is hide deeply inside me. However, I strongly agree with Mr. McCool’s example. I believed that only when people under critical circumstances or situation; their real identity will reveal.
Although I cannot elaborate on my real personalities, I can describe my individuality from what I’ve known. Sometimes, I might seem humor, generous, and easygoing. In fact, that is just the outside layer of me, which I used it to protect me from others. My real characteristics only expose in front of the people I am familiar with. For instance, I am a sensitive person. I have used to be joked about my weight. Yet, I only acted indifferently in front of those people. When I think about it alone, I actually felt sad and hurt. In addition, I believe that everyone must have his or her outside and inside personalities. When you meet this kind of people, you only see their outside first. But, gradually, when you get along with them a long time; you will then find out their personalities might actually different from what you imagine originally.
