Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Chaplain, Vol. 17 Human Mankind cannot bear very much reality." So speaks Thomas Becket in T. S. Eliot´s Murder in the Cathedral, and so affirms a large body of contemporary literature, doubtlessly reflecting certain psychoanalytic, philosophic, and theological speculations of recent decades. The flight from reality is played in many variations: a person may be fearful of knowing his real self; he may be fearful of revealing that self to others; he may be fearful of facing his real world. Fearing to acknowledge or expose his real self, he clings to a role or assumes a mask not properly his: fearing to face the real world around him, he peers through self-adjusted spectacles which reflect the world as he would like it to be. In some cases, suspecting that self-knowledge might lead to insanity or suicide, he plays a game with himself, never shaving in front of a mirror and never undressing in his own presence; in others, having peered into the mirror with some horror, he never removes his beard before others or undresses in front of the window; in still others, he outfits his dwelling with translucent windows, not so much in fear that others will see in as that he will see out. Each of these forms of deception carries its own peculiar problem. For a man may deny to himself the self that he is, but he cannot deny that he is a self; he may hide his real self from others, but he knows that he must present some self to them; he may shut his eyes to the real world, but he is forced to admit that there is a world.
