Philosophy brings self-assertiveness
The eyes are the window to the soul. By looking the world straight in the eye,
we are able to share ourselves as we truly are. This is what self-assertiveness
is. It is to share ourselves authentically, to affirm who we aspire to be and to
take action so that the vision of ourselves becomes a reality.
To assert ourselves is to be honest, to say what we really think, to have the
confidence to be the unique individuals we really are. It is to hold our head
high, to be proud of ourselves and to not back down in the face of doubt or
criticism from others.
Essentially, as for many words beginning with "self", the key notion is the
Self. Knowing the Self, one's true identity, brings Self-Assertiveness.
Philosophy "in the classical manner" is the path leading to the knowledge of
the Self.
