There are many people who are deeply committed in all they do and who are active in their communities, but who also feel hopelessly lost in the world because they have no time left for anything else.

I agree with Kaitlyn that listening to what everyone else says about oneself is not good. But I still think that all those metaphorical "different coats" we wear and different roles we play in our lives are actually parts and parcels of our true selves - if one role is gone, a person will inevitably pick up another as long as the person is alive. And then, these different roles tend to blend with one another - for example, as a lawyer I inevitably think of my day-to-day actions through the prism of my profession even when they are not related to work - like "is it legal what I am doing/want to do?" (I am horrified to think of what doctors maybe thinking through their professional prisms!). Or, as I care for my family of 9 dogs, I often mentally compare situations involving humans with what I encounter in my canine family, and people who know me well often joke that I look at them as if they were a naughty dog . So aren't our true selves the composite of our false selves?Kaitlyn Canedy wrote: ↑13 Oct 2022, 15:02 People are always too busy to see who they really are. Many people have to put on a different coat for different folks, whether that coat is a father coat, a son coat, an employee coat, etc. If any of these coats are suddenly gone, what then is the person left with? I wish more people would one day see who they really are instead of listening to what everyone else says they are.
