Self-realization

Self-realization is the willingness to rise above one's own weaknesses and those of the weak and the outcast. The icons like something like Buddha, like Christ and like any other great icon that tried to avoid their own shadow in order to behave as godly that we, like many so called special people, have had over time. Self-realization is good for those who cannot cope with their own shadow, with the finiteness of being human.
