My True Self

Jessica asked, “What if you see your true self and it turns out to be a bad person? How would you react?”

I would first try to accept myself. I am who I am. There’s no use denying it. Then, I would work on changing myself. The concept of “me” is definitely malleable. Despite all the effort, I would still accept myself as who I am, the rotten egg.

I never told her my answer, though. Instead I asked a more interesting question: “What if you see your true self and it turns out to not exist? That you’re nothing more than a sophisticated organic computer program?”
