How authentically do you experience and express cultural knowledge?
Perhaps the authentic you, hidden under layer-upon-layer of corrupted culture, is like a frightened child, confused about the world and attempting to put on a brave face to hide all traces of vulnerability from the bullies likely to exploit it.
You may even deceive the person you most love into believing you are happy, even if that person happens to be yourself.
What have you discovered about suitable locations from which to express a culture of true kindness?
People motivated to do good are often more interested in responding emotionally to the consequences of harm, however they perceive those consequences. Such people rarely do anything to prevent harm from arising.
