Who are you beyond what you own, achieve, or chase? In a world that pushes us to define ourselves by what we have—status, success, possessions—what happens when we strip all that away? Does our sense of self disappear, or do we finally uncover something deeper? This discussion, led by Lily, a practicing psychotherapist, will explore the profound difference between being and possessing—and why so many of us struggle to separate the two. We'll examine how ambition and desire, while powerful forces, can create suffering when mistaken for identity, and what it truly means to exist beyond the things we accumulate._x000D_

But self-awareness isn’t always easy. Knowing who we really are can bring clarity, confidence, and purpose—but it can also challenge our beliefs and force us to confront difficult truths. How do we begin the process of self-discovery? And what do we gain—or lose—when we truly see ourselves? Join us for an insightful and open conversation about the journey to understanding our true selves, the consequences of self-knowledge, and the freedom that comes from simply being._x000D_

在一个推崇通过我们拥有的东西来定义自我的世界——无论是地位、成功,还是财富——当我们把这些东西都抛开时,我们的自我会消失吗,还是我们能最终发现更深层的自我?由心理治疗师Lily主导的这场讨论将探讨“存在”和“拥有”之间的深刻区别,以及为什么如此多的人难以分清二者。我们将分析野心和欲望,尽管它们是强大的力量,但当它们被误认为是身份时,如何会带来痛苦,以及如何理解存在本身超越我们所积累的事物。_x000D_

然而,真正的自我认知并不总是那么简单。了解我们自己可能带来清晰感、自信和目标感,但它也可能挑战我们的信念,迫使我们面对那些不愿直视的真相。我们如何开始这段自我发现的旅程?而当我们真正看清自己时,我们到底得到了什么,失去了什么?来加入我们,参与一场关于认识真实自我之旅、了解自我带来的后果以及仅仅“存在”所带来的自由的深刻而开放的对话吧。
