The Authenticity of Thought: Navigating Empathy and Self-Expression
It's
easy to come up with an idea and clearly express my feelings and thoughts from
the depths of my heart. However, even if I listen to someone else's ideas and
believe I fully empathize with and understand them, when I try to use those
ideas as a reference to write down my own thoughts, it often becomes difficult
to generate new ideas. This suggests that the thoughts I seem to empathize with
are not truly my own. An honest heart can see through the mind's attempts to
improve appearances with techniques. While we can fool our brains with
autosuggestion, we cannot deceive our hearts and conscience.
