What would happen to a society in which we were all satisfied with ourselves? My nose is fine. My weight is good. My pirouette is perfect. Would this eliminate most mental illness or would this just make certain types worse? Imagine not being hard on yourself because you didn't need to be, weren't taught to be. I often wonder what I could have achieved if I hadn't been plagued by self doubt most of my life. Would I be a linguist, a teacher, an archaeologist or artist? Would I be all those things? If I hadn't thought I was ugly could I have been pretty? If I was pretty could I have been any of those other things? I guess I'll never know for sure.
