It is false – it has to be continuously supported.” “But this false self is constantly in danger. It is a false center that gives us a feeling that we know who we are. To create a synthetic, artificial, plastic self seems to be very easy. “To search for the real seems to be arduous. So what to do? They have created a false self. They don’t know who they are, and one cannot live, cannot exist, without knowing who one is.
