Compare yourself to that of Apollo and Dionysus

I would consider myself to be 60% Apollo and 40% Dionysus. Like Apollo I am very rational. I do not act out with sudden unjust cause. I look at both sides of the situation before I react. Most often I am very peaceful, looking for ways to help somebody. I get a real sense of enjoyment in aiding someone. I do not see pleasing people as a chore but more as a self-benefit. Some could argue in a way that is more along the lines of Dionysus. I still view my acts as Apollo due the fact that my overall sense of appreciation for other people allows me to perform these acts.

While helping people benefits me with pleasure, I would not consider it as my main reason for doing so. There are times when you must do for yourself. It could be a fatal thing to get wrapped up in doing for other people are become unaware of your own well being. I now understand Dionysus for his actions, but it all depends on whether or not you come first or other people. Either way there is no wrong solutio...
