How often have you heard someone telling you to “just be yourself”? In reality, being ourselves in a world that is constantly trying to make us everything but ourselves is far from being an easy task. It is a tremendous endeavor!
你是不是經(jīng)常聽見別人告訴你“做自己就好”？而在現(xiàn)實(shí)中，試圖讓自己在這個(gè)阻止我們成為自己的世界上，做自己已經(jīng)變得越來越不容易了。這是一項(xiàng)艱巨的任務(wù)。

Our current society is playing on our insecurity to sell us products that will give us a false sense of belonging. It doesn’t sell us products, it sells us values like freedom, power, fame or beauty.
現(xiàn)代社會(huì)玩弄人們的不安全感，向我們出售會(huì)帶來錯(cuò)誤歸屬感的物品。它不是在兜售商品，而是賣給我們價(jià)值觀，比如自由、權(quán)利、名望和美貌。

However, do these products help you be yourself ? Isn’t being true to yourself the only real freedom and beauty of life?
然而，這些真的可以幫助你找到自我嗎？對你自己來說真實(shí)的難道不是真正的自由和美麗的生活嗎？
