There is something more dangerous than the death of one’s body. It is “the undiscovered self”

About This Quote

The "undiscovered self" refers to the parts of ourselves that we keep hidden from others, out of fear of what they might think or do. Everyone has an "undiscovered self." But, most of us try to hide it. We disguise ourselves to fit in with the crowd. And, most of us use our "undiscovered self" for selfish purposes. You may try to hide your "undiscovered self" behind a mask, but sooner or later people will recognize the real you.
