The Problem of Ignoring and Facing Human Identity
The confusion surrounding human identity creates a problem of active ignoring, where individuals hide shameful aspects of themselves from their own view. This leads to aggression as they pretend to be something they are not, causing reflections of their ignored flaws in the world around them. Buddhism encourages facing these hidden aspects to become a real person, leading to acceptance of one's imperfections and the imperfections of others. This shift in understanding and acceptance was not common in pop culture in the past, but now, through mediums like podcasts, discussions about personal growth and self-improvement can reach a wider audience.
