theoretically, this sounds true, because every person from birth has certain vices, delusions, shortcomings, and on the contrary, a lot of superfluous things, and for him the main thing is to first deal with this, and not with something that is outside of himself, whatever it may be.. However, the problem is that philosophers usually do not go beyond the ideal theory, everything remains speculative, detached from life. All because, in my opinion, defeating yourself with yourself is the same as playing chess with yourself or pulling yourself out of the swamp by the hair.
