I believe that one of our biggest challenges is to overcome seeing ourselves as fixed objects rather than existential co-creations with others and other things. Contrary to the psychological view of people as containing measurable, comparable and identifiable abilities and attributes, the existential view is that we are co-created through our interactions with our world/s. Thus instead of atttributes 'coming out' when in certain circumstances, everything we do or are is a process of the interaction with another or other thing. In this way, we are not separate and are creators of our won detiny. Our so-called attributes and abilities are the mere limits to our existence to create.
