Self-hugging
Bin mir nicht sicher, ob die Erkenntnis wirklich neu ist - fürchte eher nicht. Und noch mehr ist zu befürchten, dass die Erkenntnis ansich rein garnichts ändert :-(
Aber das Wort «Self-hugging» ist einfach wunderschön ...
«We all self-hug, and we do it often. It is only human nature to presume that other people can learn to enjoy what we enjoy. The sociable partner tries to teach his or her spouse to be more fun-loving.
What is striking in all self-hugging is the absence of any concept of individuality. The values are "one size fits all". Having discovered the values are best for themselves, self-huggers are ready to improve us by advocating that we become more like they are. Yet the only way we can be happy is if we become who we are, not who somebody else would like us to be.
Self-hugging leads directly to miscommunication because self-huggers misread what other people want from life. They never get it - other people pursue different goals in life, not because they have settled for inferior pleasures, but because they have different natures.» (Steven Reis - «Who am I»)
