Denying self-portrait
Notes of the Semi-Enlightened

I am not passive — I simply chose my goals carefully.

I am not a zealot — I believe in the victory of human reason.

I am not romanticist — I simply love life.

I am not a meek creature — it’s just useless to shout in a room alone.

I am not lonely — I am simply not part of the crowd.

I am not a liar — I simply do not tell all the truth.

I am not reserved — I am simply not egocentric.

I am not rigid — there are simply times when one needs to be strong.

I am not defenseless — there are simply times when it’s required to pretend to be weak.

I am not silly — sometimes it’s simply necessary to deny common reason.

I am not uneasy — life simply demands movement.

I am not gloomy — I happen to be similarly “normal” sometimes.

I am not shy — my spirit simply soars too high sometimes.

I am not egoist — it’s simply necessary to think about myself sometimes.

I am not a pessimist — sometimes I simply forget to be happy.

I am not a slave — it’s simply necessary sometimes to work for others.

I am not an enemy — people simply desire to go for war from time to time.

I am not silent — I simply carefully select words.

I am not cynic — sometimes I simply call things by their proper names.

I am not insensible — sometimes it’s simply necessary to be closed from idly curious.

I am not mad — I simply do not always meet other’s expectations.

I am not indifferent — not all tears are simply true.

I am not helpless — it’s simply pleasantly to go down the stream sometimes.

I am not bored — someone simply does not understand from the first time sometimes.

I am not haughty — simply not everyone is capable to understand my language.

I am not a warrior — it’s simply necessary to battle sometimes.

I am not a hero — the times simply demand so.
