Knowing ourselves and knowing others: a different way of being responsible
We are not, or should never be, monads with our doors and windows shut, but monads open to listening both to ourselves and to others, in a circularity of experiences that make us aware of our responsibility in determining the feelings and behaviours of others. Our ability, or inability, to recognize emotions in ourselves and in others conditions relationships in our daily lives, deeply influencing them. It is not a legal nor formal responsibility, but an ethical responsibility that allows us to better understand, sometimes sharing, the pain and joy, the sadness and guilt, avoiding painful wounds to the soul. No one knows themselves as long as they’ve only been themselves, and never someone else at the same time: for this, and for the consequences it can have on our way of living and with others, we are infinitely responsible, not only in psychiatry.
