When separating from our parents, the goal is autonomy.
Firm defense of boundaries is also important for preserving the “I.”
The Self generates the Ego, but being absorbed by the Self is dangerous.
All this is true, but one should not push this intention all the way.
Otherwise, you may feel suspended in empty space.
Like an astronaut in space when his safety tether snaps.
Remaining oneself does not mean being cut off from the world and people.
Mature independence helps reveal the commonality with everyone.
Thus a Stream could acknowledge its kinship with the Ocean and the Rain.
Differences are obvious, while what we share is usually hidden.
As implicit as it is critical to life.
We are like multicolored threads. A pattern is being woven with us.
By whom?
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
