I wonder if the crisis between the hypocrisy of social life and the need to realize an authentic individual existence always existed or if it is a problem specially relevant to "our" society. Some might say that such crisis does not exist because - nowadays - everybody is free to be whoever one is. But... is it so? Do "you" honestly feel you are being who you truly are, in any circumstance? Or do you rather accept to comply with what you believe is expected from you? Neither criticism nor blame, here - whatever you do or don't do. The fact is that every human being has a deeply rooted desire to express their true nature but often society does not allow them to do so. It only "seems" it does because - nowadays - the greatest permissiveness is allowed. But this does not mean real "freedom". Actually, it might encourage people to act in extremely controversial ways just because... it's the new fashion!
