I have often thought that the best way to define a man’s character would be to seek out the particular mental or moral attitude in which, when it came upon him, he felt himself most deeply and intensely active and alive. At such moments there is a voice inside which speaks and says: “This is the real me!
[ William James, via Wikiquote ]
It sounds a bit cheesy, but I’m guessing it’s also probably true. It’d be nice to know what this particular attitude was for each person you met.
