When we are comfortable with who we are and can recognize our own worth and value based on our individuality, life is much easier all the way around. The biggest advantage to our mind is that being happy about who we are frees up all that energy that needing to be special takes.
But Man's unique agony as a species consists in his perpetual conflict between the desire to stand out and the need to blend in.
