Who was it that said "To thine ownself be true"?
To be true to the image or wishful thinking of others, may in
may respects be counterproductive to oneself (if you are
immortal), or ones genes (if that is what you want to propagate).
Fundamentally it is "living a lie". Men should be in touch
with being a man, women should be in touch with being a woman.
If we are in an enlightened state, we hope that we understand
being in touch with each other improves the survival chances
for us all.
It is said that the barriers to enlightment are "confusion"
and "paradox". With regard to the sexes, I am always confused
and appreciate the paradox that one must both be true to
oneself and be sensitive to others (who may ultimately play
a significant role in your survival).
Robert
