When we are in battle, our true self shows up…

We are creatures with basal instincts. All thanks to education and the social norms [and more] that we can behave in our best form in ‘normal’ circumstances.

We can put up our best front during interviews, courtship, and in situation where we have calculated the ‘price’ we do / do not want to pay. We are particularly effortful.

However, all of us have been in battle scenarios, either caught off guard, or where we ‘don’t care’, that all guards are down, all systems go for the ‘jugular’. That is when we our true self becomes most apparent.

Most of us would rather not have our true self exposed because we are aware there are some ‘ugliness’ in it. It is better left inside the cave.

So, we must – we owe it ourselves – learn about this true self and get to know where those trigger points are, and gain control over the limbic system that controls the true self. After all, we are the most evolved form….we must have control over our emotions, over our thinking, over our reactions, over our tendencies…….Oh,isn’t that change?

Unless we are proud to be cave people living in 21st century, we should out do each other in the race to be a person most acquainted with oneself.

Let that race start now, not too late!
