Modern Wisdom

NOTE

You become what you choose to embody.

Embodying certain qualities or identities can significantly impact personal connections and behaviors. By choosing to pretend to be kind, a good parent, or social, you engage in actions that align with those qualities, thus transforming into them. This approach emphasizes that you can act contrary to your inherent traits; for instance, an anti-social person can enter social situations and convincingly engage with others by consciously adopting social behaviors. Just by pretending, you effectively become the person you aspire to be, illustrating that one can embody desired traits without them being an innate part of their identity.
