From someone who thought it great to know yourself - Quentin Crisp
“The very purpose of existence is to reconcile the glowing opinion we hold of ourselves with the appalling things that other people think about us.”
It is quite necessary to recognize that your sense of self is based on the you that you know. To understand that is to know that others may not see you the same way. Because you don’t live on this earth alone, a time will come when you must reconcile your sense of self with the person others perceive you to be. This mash up can have explosive consequences. So be prepared to come out on the other side bruised and battered yet still very much you.
Have a reflective day!
