"One of the best fundamental, but commonly overlooked, dilemma in the history of humankind is the quandary of self-identity. It is normally taken for granted because to face the mirror and ask yourself who you are would seem weird, even outlandish. For isn't it an all-too apparent fact the best person who should know who you are and what you want is you yourself? Or is it really thatobvious? Can reality be singing a different tune, i.e., that pricesely because you hardly objectify and scrutinize yourself outside of you subjective and very personal understanding of yourself, that you might actually be the person to have the least access to who you really are?." --
