Each one of us has a Self. The aggregate of emotions, views, thoughts, experiences and memories of said experiences (not the same thing) etc that shape the Self. This Self is never constant, it's in constant flux. Cf. any Buddhist writing on mind an identity & recent neuroscience

Each self has a drunker self, drawn to hate, loathing, aggression etc. It cloaks itself in reason, like most convincing lies are comprised primarily of truth. This darkside is a valuable part of our identity, evolutionarily speaking it wouldn't have survived as long I'd it didnt.
