AUTHENTICITY
Does an authentic human person exist? Can a human person be
authentic? We all believe that all of us are unique, each one created
differently. And we are often proud of this fact; if not, then we should be.
If we are unique, why do we try to be like the other, or
imitate the other? Each person will surely have her way of doing things and
each person has to discover this within herself. A person can thus live and
authentic life when he discovers himself fully and does things in a different
way, in her own unique way.
Doing things the way they were done by the others is easy but
what is really appreciated is doing things differently. That is being the
creative “you.”
All are created for a purpose, and all are good as well as a little
bad and so to improve ourselves, we try to follow those who are good. This is a
completely different idea altogether. Another idea that can be considered is
about the rightness and wrongness of the act or the way it is done. Ultimately
authenticity is nothing but discovering the good and the not so good things
within me, and truly moving towards a better life.
