I watched a recent hit movie..which discussed the ability to know oneself…and for someone to actually “see” you…..
I find it very true…many will view you through their own perception of reality….their own personality and biases influencing how they ‘see’ you. Which can be good and bad. In addition, often people don’t know themselves at all..and therefore adjust to accommodate to another...because that is easier.
But I question….
1. Do we not limit (and control) how someone sees us..by only allowing a portion of our self to be seen purposely?
2. How can anyone really know anyone else…we are all complex, changing creatures ..who grow and adjust and explore?
3. And aren’t we continually exploring our own souls and discovering more about ourselves..how can we ever fully know ourselves?
