The self is free, is immaterial and it is part of us. We live our lives with self, and this self needs instruction and seduction, because self can turn to selfishness or selflessness, depending on how we use it. Self, conscience and will work together. It is the good mind that produces a good self which results in good character.
The problem of self is enormous. There are many negative self-images, namely; self-love, self-hatred, self-seeking love, self-pity, selfishness and the like.
Self can aim for good and it can also aim for evil. It all depends on how we direct it. Self needs concrete education in order to realize its potentially in life. Self-realization is the major key to a better human relationship in the society. A person who is full of self-deception cannot relate to others in a spirit of love. Neither can a self-centered person look for the good of others in the society. A disordered self cannot relate to others in an orderly manner.
Human beings are prone to self-deception. It is self- deception that is causing unfulfilled dreams in the life of many people in the world. Self is always in hiding that is one of the reasons why self needs another self to encourage it to turn from the unreal world of sense in which it is normally immersed. It is “self” that is involve in our moral decisions and it is “self” and will work hand in hand in making our daily choices. When we are confronted with a moral temptation, it is the “self” that decides the action not the character.
A disordered self cannot function well. If the self is not in order, it can lead to a destructive behavior.
It is imperative that people clearly know their psychological, sociological and spiritual make – up. There is one important fact that we must not forget, it is only a person who is rational that can clearly understand the concept of self. It deserves openness and honesty before one can critically evaluate the concept of self.
