We do not have to be anything. The limiting walls of self-concept wall us off from true engagement with the world. Our urge is to preserve notions of self, the very urge that constrain us to pre-programmed patterns of behavior and ways of being. People and events are not viewed based on their own merit, but rather as accomplices in our charades of identity and self-preservation. The consequences of this limiting behavior are uncomfortable states of one-dimensional inauthentic interactions.
