I Am Not Beholden To That Person Even As I Live Them - Tumblr Posts

David Hume I've finally accepted or perhaps realized that that high schooler eating alone on the third floor was trying his best and deserves love even with his thousands of flaws If it wasnt for the fact I think of him as me it would be easy for me to love a person like him but the present self? self I question if it is possible to ever observe the present like our minds can only recall information. our reaction time no matter how fast is still reacting to something that already happened even when you consider yourself in a mirror you're looking at a past you. Hume said that the self is only our collection of senses which means that we are only what is present in the very moment. anything else we observe about ourselves belongs to a person that no longer exists this could be good or it could cause a good deal of disassociation I am not beholden to that person even as I live them is self love looking forward hoping for a better you? or is it looking back and loving how far you've come giving mercy to the person you were? does a line on a graph divide the graph into two or three areas? does a line or a point take up space philosophical waxings self love question love the self Past Present and Future time
