I am determinèd to prove a villain

There is another kind of “glory”: conceiving too high an opinion of our worth. This is an undeserved feeling by which we value ourselves, and that makes us think ourselves different than we are, just as the passion of love lends beauties and graces to the object it embraces and makes those smitten by it — with their judgment blurred and altered — find what they love different, and more perfect, than it is.
[Il y a une autre sorte de gloire, qui est une trop bonne opinion, que nous concevons de nostre valeur. C’est un’affection inconsideree, dequoy nous nous cherissons, qui nous represente à nous mesmes, autres que nous ne sommes. Comme la passion amoureuse preste des beautez, & des graces, au subject qu’elle embrasse ; & fait que ceux qui en sont espris, trouvent d’un jugement trouble & alteré, ce qu’ils aiment, autre & plus parfait qu’il n’est.]Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
Essays, Book 2, ch. 17 (2.17), “Of Presumption [De la Presomption]” (1578) [tr. Atkinson/Sices (2012)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/montaigne-michel-de/…

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson
To know what you like is the beginning of wisdom and of old age. Youth is wholly experimental. The essence and charm of that unquiet and delightful epoch is ignorance of self as well as ignorance of life. These two unknowns the young man brings together again and again, now in the airiest touch, now with a bitter hug; now with exquisite pleasure, now with cutting pain; but never with indifference, to which he is a total stranger, and never with that near kinsman of indifference, contentment.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1888-09), “A Letter to a Young Gentleman who Proposes to Embrace the Career of Art,” Scribner’s Magazine, Vol. 4, No. 3More about this quote: wist.info/stevenson-robert-lou…

Try this before your next meeting: Stand tall. Open your chest. Hold for 2 minutes.
Sounds simple. Feels awkward. Works more than you expect. https://www.tiktok.com/@emberhartco/video/7594039073833078038

Worth Reading
Though I am typically more concerned with philosophy and sociology I have a fondness for C. G. Jung. I particularly recommend one of my favorite books on self-perception.

Self-awareness is the awareness of ourselves in the external world. Self-perception is the awareness of ourselves within ourselves.

Well, I do not consider the question "I could have done otherwise" quite interesting, because it does not lead very far.More interesting would be the question: "In similar circumstances and with the knowledge of tho outcome of my past decision, what decision should I make - especially with respect to the person I want to be, .i.e my #selfperception".
Out course such things like make a choice between a pizza with tuna or salami is of little relevance in that context.
