Automatons?
This is not what G-d wants:automatons throwing aside their skills and strengths. Rather he called us friends and expects us to use our weaknesses and vulnerabilities—our strongest strengths—as well.

finding out who we are
In conversation we are finding out who we are—creating ourselves—being created.
:- Doug.
Open the lid and look inside.
When we do not allow ourselves to be loved for who we are, but only for fulfilling the expectations of others, we cannot develop an identity of our own. This is the tragedy of our times. We do not exist if we are not met. We are complicit in this, too. The answer? Open the lid and look inside. Let the inside out. Discover. Meet vulnerably. Pain, compassion, helplessness are among our greatest gifts. We cannot meet the expectations of others, but we can surely exceed them.
