A PJ for those who care :-)

This post assumes the readers' familiarity with the MBTI ...

My life seems to be an uphill battle with my extreme P (as in P from MBTI ...) ... all my attempts at J-ing seem to come unstuck :-( ... partly, I am to blame ... as I grew up, I tried in many ways to live my P to the hilt and kept relegating my J to the ever-readily present shadow ... Pay back time ??

It suited me to extoll my P in those days even as it continues to do now (maybe I am a little more aware now) ... perhaps even helped / helps me avoid the responsibility and accountability taking that J-ness would entail ... it also suited / suits the artist in me ... kept pushing me to seek entitlements without accountabilities ... my own version of Utopia in a way ...

How does one integrate / synthesize what appear to be dichotomies ? Do I really wish to sign with my left hand ?? Pragmatics, did you say ?? Will the 'pragmatic philosophers" in the audience please stand up ?
