ΑΥΤΟΠΡΟΣΔΙΟΡΙΣΜΟΣ

Δεν μπορούμε να βρούμε τον εαυτό μας στους άλλους.
Δεν μπορούμε να ζούμε για τους άλλους, ούτε μπορούμε να τους χρησιμοποιούμε για την επιβεβαίωσή μας.
Δεν μπορούμε πάντα να είμαστε ότι θέλουν οι άλλοι να είμαστε, γιατί αυτό που θέλουν ίσως δεν είναι αυτό που είμαστε και αυτό είναι όλο που έχουμε.
