i was talking with a rather brilliant friend last night and we've come to the conculsion that self confidence, the complete acceptance with yourself as being is really just self-defeat. At some point in your life you just quit tying to make people think you're something you're not. The paradox of this is that those who haven't been defeated stare longingly to be defeated without ever knowing what they're aspiring towards.
