They're becoming self aware...

Amen 10-14-2018 08:54 AM

This thread was ego driven based off his internet win lol.

Change my mind.

veritas 10-14-2018 09:29 AM

I’m not sure about that entirely.

I think it was more about my question to you.


How are you this morning?

What if you know and think it’s a good thing?

If the previous example would lead to V being closer to soul than ego with the intentions of helping people, would it be more towards ego the more self aware he is towards that? I’m sure not everything I’m saying in here makes 100% sense but if you feel me word.

Basically where is the line drawn between ego/soul and selflessness/selfishness

And

Does the general consensus of your actions matter more than yours (mental illness, sociopath etc)

Would it be ego for me to say that I may be the exception to the rule because my online persona is basically my professional occupation just turned up to 11 but authentic none the less?

Srs question.

I think so but eye of the beholder

It could be argued your profession doesn’t mean you know everything about the human mind, and some people denounce your profession entirely

But yeah imo it matters

Knuck knows the truth, lol. He's admitted it on several occasions of "Forum wins" and the need of "Always being right."

It's ego driven.

I'm perfect man. My son won his last regular season game last night and had one hell of a game. Probably his best game YET. Playoffs begin this week and this years team is looking like it's going to make a youth Superbowl run. Awesome.

Which question? And does it seriously need an answer? That's probably why I didn't answer it in the 1st place, tbh. No matter what I say it's argued and negated anyways, lol.

How are you, V?

Can you show us one boxing accolade you have @Amen ?

Amen 10-14-2018 10:03 AM

What importance does that have?

That’s fair. No one will ever know everything about it. I think I am a professional “good question asker” mixed with a strong desire to synthesize the info given. Then I take that info and draw logical conclusions. With the legit desire to help.

My heart is in the right place. I am self aware enough to see the ego in it. I am just trying to be authentic.

Not sure if this helps or hurts the discussion lol.

You pass the test by not answering it.

Knuck had a point. It’s not so much about pointing out Knick’s need to win, but about you not losing. Revoking the patterns that lock you into the losing persona sir.

I just finished reading maps of meaning and life is good sir. I don’t want to brag...but it’s peace.

Oh I also got hired to become an adjunct online professor at a graduate school so that is super dope brother!

Fighting for the dream.

You said you had enough boxing experience to teach people how to box. You should have some sort of accolade to make such a wild claim otherwise it’s ego because you think you are an all knowing teacher of the world etc.

Is a valid response to that question

It is only possible to be great if one is not egotistical
One may play the role of egotistical, and be great
But one who is truly egotistical can never be great
For humility is a quality of greatness

Amen 10-14-2018 10:23 AM

FYI: You don't need accolades to teach, wtf. Yea - if you're training PROFESSIONALS then sure... Accolades serve no purpose other then a resume IF you are looking to train at the professional level.

That's like saying you need to have played in the MLB, NFL, NHL to be a youth sports coach.

This is good...

If you truly love something u know that u can never fully do it justice....the greatness comes from understanding that and striving to anyways

I like where this discussion is heading at Anthony and Jude.

Stated otherwise: the larger your field grows, the more acutely award you become of how much more is outside your fence than in it.

Word

That’s where I wonder if it’s a you’re born great or not thing, with potential influence to how you’re raised most likely.

If you recognize to too great of an extent that what you’re doing is great, can you be conditioned to not be egotistical about it? Would that need to involve being less aware of your greatness?

veritas 10-14-2018 10:35 AM

Greatness is cultivated.
