I wanna apologize beforehand, because this could get  very  inconcise. I'm going to answer your question, fire some of my own regarding myself and just things I wonder about if they can't be intepreted differently. The trick will be to keep it structured, so i'll try to keep to the order i mentioned. (answer, question me, questions interpretation,...)

I'll start off by saying that you thought things out, so you're poking in the right direction with quite a few things, but since you brush things off in a new paragraph by saying '' "but no, even that is wrong | Did I lost you | Doesn't matter |..." ''one would wonder how convinced you were of your estimations about me as a person. In a sense this could be accepted as a  Barnum Statement(s) . But I believe it's due to the complexity of a person; and that you only had my  comment on good & evil, my 'phony' affinity for balance, forumcomments and our talks  as a source to conclude this out; that it easily makes the one analyzing get lost of the right track he was on, which I see occuring in the sort of loops you make in your comment, where you decide to end an assumption/estimation in a question, which is quite frankly, still an impressive try nevertheless. And I will use that to answer the non rethorical questions in your comment. On a sidenote, you were spot on when it comes to  curiosity being one of my driving forces .

I don't think you really thought i'd hate you after this, but if you did, then you completely misjudged me. :)

I find ' why state such a statement so bluntly while you don't even understand yourself ' something that can be applied to everyone. Are we capable of understanding ourselves, while it's known that conciousness is only a fraction of our being. How can we start understanding, with the little conciousness we have, our unconciouss complete persona? Most people  pretend  to know themselves, sometimes because they're forced to to stay positive, sometimes because they're holy convinced this is who they are. And does it matter if this is who you pretend to be? If that pretending feels genuine and good, then there has to be a truth to it that this is a part of who you are, but people who state they know themselves in and out, are sadly mistaken, is what I belief. Understanding yourself is no requirement to make certain statements, since those statements can get you more insight in yourself when others react to them. A part of you will always be shaped by social interaction or social standards/expectations. -->  BUT  saying that, i won't deny that I might lack self awareness, i might even lack a lot of self awareness, but you'll have to specify in which categories or settings i lack it. I agree that the reason I chose 'practical psychology' was one that I couldn't answer for quite some time, but it was actually simple. Socially influenced. Choose something you can find work in and that still lies somewhere in what interests you. But actually my interest is ' earning enough money to survive by thinking' , so the obvious choice would've been to take philosophy. Maybe that lack of awareness caused me to choose practical psychology or the social pressure and desire to fulfil the wishes and expectations of the people in your surroundings might be another reason.

And it's true, I do want my horizon to stay broad and wide, but recently i've been struggling with that and asked myself if there isn't a need to be a bit more decisive for once... 

"The raw material of which he is composed and his maker, both the man himself" Can you elaborate some more on the 'material', 'his maker' & 'both the man himself' part, please? 

<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0cm;">And what would you think is the rightful authority I can indulge? <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0cm;">That's actually a good darn question? Not sure which question you're implying there. But the point you're making is that I pretend there is a balance, while I actually don't care about balance at all, just about being satisfied with what the characters bring to the story and this can be generalized to my real self to, as long as someone entertains me, i don't care if there's a balance or not. Fair enough if that's the point. :D <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">What I don't consider is wether she's bad or good. I know she's standardly seen as bad, but I don't like her, because it's common to like bad guys, I like her because of how she acts and behaves. Her personality. There are a lot of bad guys I don't really care about, who are considered the sh*t by a lot of people. I don't consider characters by those terms on a spectrum.

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">I might be ''' pretending a lot, but that's just because i don't know where I stand in all of this either. '''

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">And yeah ofcourse i agree with blending in with your surroundings, even if they're not your own customs, try to adapt to theirs. And that's why I would blame myself for not seeing the rock, instead of blaming the rock or other people for not getting rid of it.

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:15.75pt;">''<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0cm;">You've made this connection between BALANCE and EQUALITY. But they're 2 completely different words. Equality always has a collective perspective, while balance can be purely individualistic. To get the physics back, I could be thrown into space and circle around the earth for the rest of my life, but don't you think there's a balance in that too. There is no force that cancels out my spinning and circling and is there a need to be, for it to be balanced, I wonder... What would be the difference if a force canceld out your circling, would it make your chances on survival any greater, if not your death quicker? Wouldn't it be more balanced for an apple to keep floating in the air, when it's ready to fall of the tree, then falling on the ground and creating a bulge on the appel where it hit the ground? There are lots of ways to look at balance. Balance in function of oneself and in function of your surrounding, wouldn't you agree? A force can equally knock us out of balance as it can create balance, so how can something so circumstancial be seen as true 'balance'. You going to the mall and everything works out smoothly, can be seen as balance, nothing disrupted your overall mood. ''<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:15.75pt;">''<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0cm;">See where i'm going with this? Need more examples? ''<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">So from that viewpoint should we say something that lets you remain balanced, is good and something that disrupts your balance evil? That disruption could be balance for that particular person. Different balances will collide. If someone has found a balance in killing 18 year old blond girls, won't that collide with someone feeling balanced with a blond wig. The murderer pulls her hair and the wig drops, how will he react? Just that stupid detail of that womans hair being originally brown will make him hesitate about killing her. In his eyes she's the evil one for making it so difficult for him.

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">These are absurd things, but I think there's some merit in thinking about them.

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">I hope this entertained you at least a bit for the quantity you had to work your way through
