Seeing through,

Sometimes, when I am looking at a person, I 'think' that I can see through him. Just a simple facial expression and it triggers something inside me. I feel that I can see his/her ancestors, the collective personality through the ages, all accumulated in one. And I lose my faith in human being. Seeing how personal inner filters, alters everything, and makes us believe, whatever we want to believe and that we do not have any control on this. Ironically, most of the time, I can not see myself. I wish I could video tape myself through the day, and at the end of the day, I could sit back, and watch myself, and get disgusted of what I am.

amazin!

Just as a short introduction, I was doing a light interview when I was asked

"Tell us something AMAZING about yourself"

I should mention that I am in love with myself, I am fascinated by myself. However, it was a bit awkward at that moment. On one side, culturally, I am not used to praise myslef. It is considered to be selfish and snub. But, I think after 10 years, I am kind of over this feeling. So I was ready to talk about my amazing qualities. But then I paused, because I never thought about it. I never thought about what I would say, if I was asked the question, and more over, which 'amazing' thing I would pick.

So I paused and thought for few seconds, to find the one thing that is the root of all my amazing qualities, something fundamental and abstract, something that casts its shadow on everything in my life.

Well, I am not going to tell you what it is, rather, I ask you: have you ever thought of 'something AMAZING' about yourself?
