My transcendental self is devised of three things. It is made up of my soul or spiritual self, my self which is my personality or self perception, and the real me which is other's perception and reality. With in my self there is an every man which is devised of self and real me. As far as soul goes or my spiritual self, I would say I am fairly spiritual. I definitely believe in God and all of that, but I do not attend church every single weekend not because I do not want to or think it is a waste of time but because I am usually working. Personally I believe that everyone should not have to work on Sundays and then we could all go to church. As far as my personality goes I believe that I am very out going. I love to meet new people and make all kinds of new friends. I also think people should all be very nice to people. Even if you do not like people you should still try to be nice. Most people might call this fake, but I call this mature. It is important to be nice to people because you never know what they are struggling through. I am not to sure what others see as the real me, I hope that the perception others see is outgoing and nice, but I never really know. I also think I have a good work ethic as part of my self. I work very hard at work and at school because I know it will all pay off one day. A philosophy or whatever of Whitman is that all nature and people reflect the idea of self. I think that I somewhat represent the basic teenager and do a good job representing them. There are definitely worse teenagers out there, but I am sure there are better too. That is why the whole idea of self is all of us teenagers or people all mixed together in one big melting pot.
