Proposal: "Self"

Attempting to create a thought out depiction of one's own concept of "self" can seem as an easy task superficially, but one can find that it can just as easily turn into an overwhelming process. The concept of "self" is a highly debated and highly controversial topic in some circles, because it can fundamentally lead to thoughts dealing with the "ultimate", whether dealing with spirituality or the secular.

So, one starts to piece together ideas and concepts, found externally or internally, to find a definition of what or who one "is". Yet, even in the "defined" or in definition there is a slight sense of variance, because with out exception, nothing goes unaltered in time. This can seemingly depreciate the core of what is being defined, but our acceptance of this is where the true definition lies of what it means to own our own idea of "self".

With all this in mind, I hope to touch on the intricacies of what it takes to find definition and test its staying power with out taking away focus on a whole concept of self, keeping "acceptance" of that that is, as a guide.
