Andre Malraux said, "Man is not who he thinks he is, he truly is what he hides".
Man is designed to feel special in one way or the other, the innate feeling of being unique. In our minds are the greatest blockbusters comprising the past , present and possible futures, what was, what is and what could be. but then there is also a definition of man where he hides his most defining traits, you could see it as man hiding his weaknesses so it doesn't get ridiculed or exploited and there, right there is man at his most basic.
Think it through, what do you think defines you and compare it with what you keep hidden, tell me what do you see...
I don't know what to say, your words carry great meaning too big for my comprehension
