About Me
- M1
- the character you seem to have been born with is not necessarily who you are; beyond the characteristics you have inherited, your parents, your friends, and your peers have helped to shape your personality. the promethean task of the powerful is to take control of the process, to stop allowing others that ability to limit and mold them. remake yourself into a character of power. working on yourself like clay should be one of your greatest and most pleasureable life tasks. it makes you in essence an artist--an artist creating yourself. in fact, the idea of self-creation comes from the world of art. for thousands of years, only kings and the highest courtiers had the freedom to shape their public image and determine their own identity. similarly, only kings and the wealthiest lords could contemplate their own image in art, and consciously alter it. the rest of mankind played the limited role that society demanded of them, and had little self-consciousness.
