He argues that each of us contain multiple selves, and I agree
because I think you are a different person every day. After reading through
this article and comparing it through my personal experience, I pretty much
agree with everything he is saying. I like the example he says about the coffee
machine. If you set up the coffee the night before and have it set for in the
morning you can just make it and go, you would be pleased because you set
yourself up to be ready. If you didn’t set up the coffee the night before and
have to do it all in the morning you would curse at yourself for not doing it
before, and you may not have a good day because you are upset. Another good
example he gave was about experimenting about good smells and how that can
change how you are. If someone or something smells good you tend to be happier
and maybe more polite. But if it was a bad smell you may be judgmental and stay
your distance. There were many good examples in this article but this is why I agree
that we have multiple selves and how little things can change it every day.
What he speaks about is true and you are making a lot of sense. No one acts the exact same way they would have acted the day before. When you decide to prepare yourself for something later on you know that you will not want to do that specific thing at a particular time. You will just want to get your business over with so you will not have to worry about it later on the next day or the next evening. You are also more like to drift toward something you like rather something you want. He also speaks about your writings being strong with a lot of reasoning behind it. Your writings should be full of creativity and fullness.
ReplyDeleteHe claims that we each contain multiple selves that each contain multiple desires, and I believe this is true. I also agree with what you're saying as well when you talked about our personality changing according to the situation that we are in. If we were to do what we know we can do, without putting it off until later, then we would a brighter outcome of the situation. If we procrastinate and wait then it may cause us to feel overwhelmed.
