I really love this quote, it meshes well with the concept of authenticity and setting boundaries in the context of interpersonal relationships. I would like to add or counter the aspect about becoming evil with one becoming vacant and "requiring" substances to alter themselves sufficiently to perform to the dominant social playbook that is relevant to their context. It hits very close to home, if not entirely so Edit: I hesitate to furnish this example but this seems to be what's up with Melania Trump. Don't wanna get political but imagine the dissonance of someone who married purely for money and is ruthlessly valued purely for her value as a trophy and softening agent for her husband and is cheated on while she's fucking pregnant with the next son. She might have preferred that in function if not in form by which I mean maybe it only became humilisting when it broke the news but its no less a tacit proof of concept that Trump was bored and did not find her desirable anymore. I do not envy those who marry for money. The inevitable divorce is gonna suck when he leaves her with all the debt
