As we live there are two types of people, people who are content to be themselves and people who search. I have a friend who is lost on a quest searching for herself. She is kind, smart, attractive and educated.
Yet she is confused because she is trying to get to know herself. She has spent so long trying to please others that she has to relearn how to do things for herself alone because she has forgotten what she likes. She could tell me what I like, and I am certain that she would be pretty much dead on the mark, but when it comes to what she wants she is lost.
She needs direction that comes from the inside, well everyone does, but she has realized that she had given up on listening to her internal direction and now she is struggling to find it again.
Most people are sheep, many pretend to be shepherds or wolves, and only a few are able to do things for their own reasons without succumbing to the flock mentality.
It is interesting to talk to her because her thought processes reveal how someone, anyone, can go form being a drone to being an individual.
Individuals are much more interesting, then objects and while objects are nice for a while an individual comes with thoughts and opinions and suprises and...
Individuals are better. I am glad my friend is finding her own way for the right reasons.
