Ernest Becker Quotes

Why Would A Person Prefer The Accusations Of Guilt, Unworthiness, Ineptitude - Even Dishonor And Betrayal- To Real Possibility? This May Not Seem To Be The Choice, But It Is: Complete Self Effacement, Surrender To The "others", Disavowal Of Any Personal Dignity And Freedom-on The One Hand; And Freedom And Independence, Movement Away From The Others, Extrication Of Oneself From The Binding Links Of Family And Social Duties-on The Other Hand. This Is The Choice That The Depressed Person Actually Faces.
