Which is the true face? Many of us honestly do not know! In our journey through childhood, adolescence and adulthood, we often become confused by what others want – our parents, teachers, bosses, husbands, wives to name but a few. We try to become what that person wants, admires or needs, only to find that it really does not work. We try to please, only to find we cannot please everyone. Even if 90% of our acquaintances think we are pretty good, we tend to focus on the 10% who don’t like us! In the face of this, some people lose their way, give up, try to escape, or become bitter. At the extreme end of this, they would become very cynical and say that life has no meaning, and there is no hope.
