My Self

When Whitman writes, he uses the idea of self throughout most of his poems. He was aiming to identify a person and their own personal self. I think it is cool that he is trying to identify what Self is, but everyone has a different perspective of what self is. Josh's definition of self is himself. "And if you have seen the movie the Librarian, me equals God. But that only counts if you have seen the movie" (Cornett, Direct Quote). See, that is a very different idea than I have. I am not the most religious person in the world. I practice religion, but and it probably would be a part of my definition of self, but it would not be the focus point of all of my poems or writings, given if I ever write poems. I would write a little on some of the poems about God because he is a very important person to the world and its function, but I would probably talk more about myself. Since I am defining the meaning of self, I would not try to come up with an explanation for everyone because everyone is different. I would come up with my own and if someone wants to read it, they can. They can learn how I define my self. I would define my self by love and romance. I would because I love everybody. Love is a very important thing to have in relationships because when you love someone, you would do anything for them and it helps to maintain a relationship with a person. God loves us all. So by talking about love and identifying myself, I am talking about God and his love for everyone on earth. I know he loves us all because He put us here on the earth for a reason. Another way I would define myself would be by working. I like to read and I am a hard worker. I believe that people who want to be successful in life should be able to work hark in what they do.
