"A fully developed and individualized sense of self, a strong ego, is a necessity for everyone who desires freedom."
Here's another passage by American psychoanalyst Robert M. Linder. The roles so many of us play at the expense of even knowing ourselves...who are we? Why are we here? What do we stand for? Are we mere actors on the stage of life going from one prostituted role to the next depending upon the immediate pet trick request?
As it has long been written..."Know Thyself"
