**Is ego very different than self-respect? where is the thin line between them? Why can't I decipher that thin line?
That is the challenge one faces-to have the highest degree of self-respect without bordering in the ego zone. I don't know my exact location today, but I believe I am in the self-respect zone. Please direct me back if I have trickled down the metastable zone.

** Can memories cause a change of interests/hobbies? Perhaps, it can. I don;t understand it well but maybe the sub-conscious makes efforts to detach with memories that hurt. I think that is an interesting topic for psychological research and I am ready to volunteer as a subject if anyone is willing to carry out research in this field :)

^^ Does one mature a lot after 23? :P . I personally think I have exponentially. But then, maybe its a function of circumstances too.

I will have to end this thoroughly boring and lousy post now at this point. I need to get out of the writer's block, (and fight the subconscious tending to oppose) . I need to get one post out, and not let this one join the 20-something drafts that never saw the light of the day.
