Incredibly well explained. I've been going through this process of self descovery and I'm always impressed that everything is interconnected in this tapestry of events. The Buddha said that all phenomena are generated by a combination of causes and conditions. Without causes and conditions, no phenomena would arise or exist in this world. This leads to deeper questions such as determinism. We could question whether free will is gained from the moment of introspection, and if we don't do this work, we would live a deterministic life.
You bring up an interesting point about determinism. It's fascinating how interconnected everything is and the power of introspection. I think this is what makes the human condition so beautiful - that everyone is able to go through this journey of life and to be able to create their own meaning from it. Whether it is correct or incorrect is entirely up to to them.
So does that mean we can never really be inauthentic? because even when we are wearing a mask, it is often driven by a set of complex motivations which are also part of our thoughts, beliefs and personality. Therefore, the mask and our shifting behaviour is actually us being our real selves!
In a way, yes! I believe that authenticity can be fluid and multifaceted where it isn't necessarily tied to a single, constant presentation of self. Sometimes, I introspect on some of my thoughts, beliefs and personality and I wonder what motivated them and where they come from. Through this, I am usually able to find that they are rooted from a deeper place.
I feel like you can still act like yourself, but it will be manifested in a different form depending on the person and setting. And of course, it's important to remember that everone is different and unique and have their own experiences and perspectives, and what might be seen as inappropriate for one person may be seen completely acceptable to another person. But I think that's whats so beautiful about human connection - that seeking out those connections where you don't need to fully suppress who you are is part of the journey.
"How should I act and what should I do?" "Just be yourself" Don't be fooled. This response does not answer the question. Rather, it communicates you shouldn't invest effort or thought into the things you're worrying about. But the line between reassuring someone and devalidating their feelings is a thin one
Most people in life choose to be the first loser. The paradigm shift the school system brought about, gives a indeterminant time that determines a class. Just be yourself is the phrase to destroy this class. The phrase just be yourself has been said to people by people. The meaning might be irritating, but it's a phrase we want to see continue to work. Feeling like yourself might even be a euphoric feeling you get when working on something. There might be a feeling of culmination and reason for ever step you've been privileged to take. The phrase just be yourself probably came from notable people of the western culture. lf you are yourself you wouldn't rate statistics. There are so much activities made available to us. That being the case that should be the example. But some people represent and encourage stagnation,

@@progressful It looks like a response from Chat Gpt, lol
@@shellisonwullian6217 maybe I’m just a bot… I’ll be sure to make my responses less structured next time 🫠
Nice work, keep going! These videos are really interesting, it introduces a new perspective to the topic.
I appreciate it. Another video is in the works!

nice video, sucribed
Appreciate it!
In simple terms be yourself after 30 years of age or after a million dollars in the bank, until then don't.
to each their own
@@progressful nice response
Ofc
Nice visuals good audio (maybe a little too close to the mic). You desperately need some background music 🙏🏽 helps people stay.
I appreciate the feedback! I’ll put some background music in the next video. 🙌
Background music is good but make sure it’s not too loud bc I’ve clicked off of videos for that! Nice vid
I disagree, backward music would distract you from the point
@@raspberry4262 I'll test around. I'll probably just put it very subtly in the background
@@Mononodle I can try very quietly in the next video and see how the feedback is.
