in our world has a lots its splendor

our future. But self confidence is not

for others
• There is the mode of being for others that
is life the child’s constant drawing of the
other’s attention; this is the most empty
kind

kind; the isolationist considers his
withdrawal from others as a sight of
greatness, that he does not need anyone

being with others
