The Will to Be Myself

[ericjherboso]

The class was an utter disappointment. I had had such high hopes for that class. Every time a new semester begins, I always find myself optimistic that this time I will find the class that turns everything around for me. Every time, I fool myself into believing that I've finally reached that point in my academic career where I will find a class

In summary (since I know I rambled a bit back there), donning many mindsets is NOT better because it allows you to do the right thing more consistently, since the real right thing must be the same under a single mindset.

BUT donning many mindsets is easier for you; as you say, switching between them makes you more comfortable and more at ease in many situations. In this way, donning many mindsets is good for you.

On the contrary, for me, I am more at ease when I stick to just one mindset. At the time of writing this entry, I was unjustifiably proud of this fact; now I am ashamed of it. But either way, the truth remains that it is easier for me to not don many mindsets but to just keep a single one. Changing mindsets is rather difficult for me, you see. It takes effort that I think you never need to expend. Thus, for me, donning many mindsets is not good for me, due entirely to the ease issue.

BUT I will admit that I do (now though not then) wish I could don add'l mindsets so that I _could_ be happy in other situations. Instead, I find myself back to depression again after a rare fleeting moment of unjustifiable pride.

I think I agree with this, at least in the mindset I'm in now. ;)
