Getting in Touch with the Self

This is difficult for most people -  because they have no self, and do not want one. And do not want to know this.

This is the strongest shame of our time. And one we resist knowing about the most.

I sometimes think of a friend of mine, a woman, who impressed me as having her own person. We dated, and I got to know her better.

We continued to correspond after I moved to Costa Rica. Then she made it clear to me that we were no longer friends.

And I concluded from that, that she did not want me to know her better. There must have been something that she was ashamed of. And did not want to reveal.
