Sample text
Thus when my anger is false, in my response I attribute a seriousness to the insult which it does not really have for me, even when I recognize it as an insult and know what that means. In that case the seriousness I attribute to the insult is something I have 'constructed'. But I am taken in by it and in doing so I become false.

This kind of transformation whereby a person is said to find or become himself is thus one which involves a change in his understanding of himself. Indeed, the more he is himself the more the way he understands himself is constitutive of who he is. On the opposite side, the less he is himself the more the way he understands himself is a form of self-deception - a form of deception in which he is false in himself. In other words, it is not what is given to a person in his make-up which makes him the person he is, but rather what sense he makes of things and how he understands himself in his relation to them- especially those things, those matters which have a special significance for him, including what is given to him in his make-up.
