Cryptic Writings: Entry 4
Apparently whatever I am inclined to say may be in defense of a belief I have about myself. So how well can one reflect to see what is there and not what they’d like to see is there?
Some have convinced me that they have everything, in the way of what they want for themselves, all figured out. I doubt that is completely true. Maybe it takes others to see what the inquisitor cannot.
Psychologists, psychoanalysts, etc. seem to provide what not too many people can accomplish on their own; true insight into someones real wants, beliefs, convictions, tendencies, feelings, and so on. But how many of them can help themselves; really seeing what is going on beneath their own surfaces? Do they believe, as most of us do, that they “know” what is going on inside of them? Or do they seek a human mirror… to see a clearer unbiased reflection?
