They are not free to be themselves so long as they are in rebellion. So long as they are in rebellion they are very insecure and need to win affirmation. Since they are in rebellion they can not win affirmation by being authentically themselves, and so because they are in rebellion, they turn to conformity to win approval. They sense that in their conformity they are not authentically themselves; and in a futile effort to be themselves; they revert to rebellion which is tied to that against which they are rebelling. To become free the addict must turn loose of both rebellion and conformity; we cannot be free of one while keeping the other. The two ends of the dichotomy are part of the same reality, and the whole reality must be let go to be rid of either end of the reality. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
