"What concerns me is not the way things are, but rather
the way people think things are."
-- Epicetus
-- Epicetus
When we are basically unconscious, we live according to
social roles. We perform as sons and daughters, mothers
and fathers, husbands and wives, employers and
employees, as society expects us to.
As we grow in awareness, we gain the freedom to bring
our own unique perspectives to these roles. We can
express ourselves authentically and creatively, without
letting our roles dictate how we should behave.
"Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinion of
others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth
for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth."
-- Katherine Mansfield
