Great spirit, great-self. This is a very interesting phrase. It is one of the most ancient phrases in the world. We can trace its origin to ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece.
The idea is that you should learn to appreciate yourself, both the good and the bad because no matter how ugly your flaws are, you still have a great spirit. That is the essence of life, in knowing that even though you make mistakes, you still have a great spirit.
