Acting against ourselves

Behaviour is often more to do with how we think others will perceive us than what we truly feel.

Yet, we are all doing the same, more worried about appearances to others than being authentic.

Being authentic is hard as we are conditioned to consider what others think and it leaves us feeling like we are in the wilderness when we don’t conform, no longer fitting in.

Mad how we condition ourselves as humans to act against our true selves to satisfy the imagined view of us by another.

Measurement

If we do not compare and have a system to measure against others how does our ego know whether we are better or not?

Imagine what a world would be like if we did not measure ourselves against others. A society where we did not use a score, a measure, a test…sort humans out against each other like lining up sticks of different shapes or lengths.

Perhaps we do not have to imagine it, we could try it.
