The Self
The self is the symphony we compose with the choices of our life. Inclined by biology, we take from our DNA the realization that we are utterly unique. Each breath we draw, each hope we cherish, our fears, the thoughts we think, all trigger cascades of discernible physical reactions that strum the very strings of our self, creating and recreating us anew each moment.
Though buffeted by both choice and chance, we are the composers of our life’s symphony. It is a role we are powerless to relinquish.
