Abstract

Circumstances alter us is absolutely indispensable. On the one hand – his ordinary, personal, mundane “I,” and on the other – the “I” of his created personality with all its qualities, abilities, and life in general. Under their influence, we experience joy, grief, irritation, wrath, wistfulness . . . But we cannot always show the emotions we truly feel. And so, a person shuts off his true feelings, instead assuming a guise of calm when he is worried, a guise of cheerfulness when he is sad, a guise of sympathy when he is apathetic, a guise of joy when he is actually full of woe.
