                                Losing yourself

There are many reasons why a person loses himself. One of the things that makes him lose himself is over emotionality. Over emotionality has the power to make a person another person. When a person is angry, sad, afraid, or happy, he takes on a different identity than his previous self. This is why emotional people have a difficult time with their behavior, their personality changing.

 Emotional people are one person when they are happy, and another person when they are sad. They easily lose themselves. Since they do not have a stable personality or personality to begin with, they tend to change easily like a snake. The hardest thing for them is not losing themselves, but finding themselves. They are strong in building with emotions. They are equally similar at destroying with anger. Their distinguishing characteristic is to work hard and then destroy quickly. In short, there is no finding yourself, no return to yourself, except losing yourself through over emotionality.

 Another thing that deprives oneself is boredom. Boredom is both mental and physical. Of course, physical boredom does not cause that much behavior or personality disorder. But boredom of the spirit causes complete behavioral, emotional, and personality disorders. Boredom makes the simplest things difficult. It makes the friendly person rude. It makes the patient angry. It makes the humble person arrogant. It makes the strong person weak. In boredom, work is done with effort, not with quality.

There is a certain capacity to have effort in boredom, but it is not enough to be able to check for quality. Because boredom makes us lose our capacity, and it also makes us lose ourselves. Boredom is the result of overwork. Working below capacity leads to laziness. Working above capacity leads to boredom. Therefore, a person must know his capacity so as not to lose himself. He must work within his capacity. 

People who lose themselves are often people who do not know themselves. Self-awareness is knowing one's own feelings, weaknesses, strengths, and ideas or goals. A person who does not know these things about himself, at work, in social relationships, easily loses himself. Because when faced with a problem, he does not have a goal to endure. He does not distance himself from trouble by knowing his weaknesses or running away from something danger. He cannot identify what his strengths are to overcome himself. Finally, by losing himself, he loses a lot. Of course, there is no greater problem than losing himself. It is not a problem if a person loses everything he has. But the biggest problem is when he loses himself.       

Losing oneself is not losing the bad things we had, but the good things we had. It is good if a person loses the bad things he has. Then he does not lose himself, but finds himself. If he gives up the anger he had and puts on the patience he did not have, he is blessed. If he forgets his pride and becomes humble, this is good. If he gives up greed and starts being kind, then he has returned to his original nature. Losing oneself is losing something good.

It is the loss of patience, humility, faith, truth, and kindness. A person   is not what he used to be, he has changed, he is said to return to himself, when he loses the good things he had.

 Some people lose their humility when they get money. By the way, the loss that comes with getting money is a disease. It is better for a person to lose money than to lose himself. Because if he loses himself when he gets money, money will be his ruin, not his gain. Getting it should strengthen his identity, not destroy it. A person should be careful not to lose himself by doing good with his money. Money is the main thing that makes person lose himself.

There are those who become cruel when they gain power. There are those who lose themselves until they can no longer be compassionate. Those who were human before power, turn into beasts when they are given power. Those who were the best at being compassionate to people, become cruel to people when they get power. There are many leaders of organizations, communities, religions and countries who have lost themselves because of power.

 Many have lost the good things they had, and are armed with the evil things they did not have. Many who were elected to lead us because of their personality, but because of their power, they have lost their personality, and have not led us properly, rather have become bitter in leadership. In order to be honorable in your power, to be proud of your leadership, you must be careful not to lose yourself when you gain power. It should be a place where you gain knowledge and experience that you did not have, but it should not be a place where you lose the good personality that you had.

 When they gain knowledge, they should know themselves well, but on the contrary, there are many who lose themselves.

There are many scholars who lead us to think that ignorance is better than knowledge, and who have lost themselves when they gain knowledge. There are many scholars whom knowledge has made Satan. There are many who have gone so far as to make poison for people with their knowledge, not medicine. 

There are many who have created problems instead of solutions. There are many scholars  whom knowledge has made them to become a beast. There are many who have made the world a center of war with their knowledge, who have shaped the political world into a place of conspiracy, and who have made schools a place of prostitution.

Knowledge should lead a person to be good but not to be evil. Knowledge should lead some one to be back to himself so as not to lose himself. For this reason, it is appropriate to choose knowledge. It is important to know all the good that the Creator has permitted and to abandon the evil.

"It is not right to lose oneself to gain. To protect oneself from evil is not to lose oneself, but to gain oneself."
