My Mind is my Castle
Thursday, March 1st, 2007I never stop being amazed about some people, especially men, who are reluctant to share their inner workings. They don’t speak about what they think and feel. Somehow they must think that it could reveal something about them, and let us judge them easier, or manipulate them easier. By not telling anything, they might feel saver and more in control.
I think that the opposite is true. The more you share, the more you learn about yourself, and others. Not many things we experience in ourselves are really unique. There are actually quite ubiquitous patterns, many of which are going on in all of us. When we shut down the connection to our inner world, we’ll never see the patterns, we’ll never understand outselves and others as well as we could be. In understanding lies the real power.
