About This Quote

The idea that a person’s true self is found in a place of purity and bliss, free from all worldly worries and troubles, is not always true. On the contrary, our true selves are often found in the most difficult of places. When we love or care deeply for another person, we may find it painful to express such feelings. That is because we do not want to risk losing the person we love.

We may feel we must hide our true selves from them just to protect them. Or, we may feel that they must be protected from us because we cannot bear anyone else to know what is going on inside our heads and hearts.
