I feel a strong bond between Gilgamesh and myself. Even though I’m not the king of Uruk, the strongest of them all, inside me there is a little slice of him. I am as stubborn as I could possibly be. I can be going directly towards hell, but as long as I believe in myself, I will never stop. There is no human force that can prevent me from taking action once I put my mind to it, even though the road I’m deciding to take could send me straight to the dumpster. Here is where the similarity between Gilgamesh and me appears. He is so stubborn, he could be taking himself directly towards death, but he already put his will into it, and there is nothing can stop him. By beginning his journey into the Cedar Forest, in search of Huwawa, its guardian, he could be making the biggest mistake of his life. He will do anything to reestablish himself as the strongest of them all, to proof himself of his own abilities. So as me, Gilgamesh is blinded by his belief in himself. This I see more as a flaw than a quality, although sometimes it’s very useful.

I agree, I can tend to be stubborn. I guess this makes me similar to Gilgamesh too. I also believe that this is a flaw because we need to learn that other people can also have good ideas. We may be losing great opportunities because we dont listen to others.
