Notes on a Self-Portrait
All Knowledge we know is based on experience.
Thoughts and ideas without experiences can be fanciful and absurd.
Hence, experiences lacking awareness and thought can be
blind or reckless.
One's character and the development of personality are
based on the experiences.
Character is the ability to be responsible and
to fulfill one's obligations.
Personality should not be a means to benefit; however,
good conduct should be a means to benefit.
Virtue is contrary to intention.
Fulfilling obligation to others rather than ourselves is a virtue.
Personality may also be influenced by living a virtuous life.
Thus, if one's character is developed in such a way,
then one may state:
"Be a person of action, like me."
