I don't see as much of the focus on self image as a facade. While self image can be and many time is a facade there is such a thing as a self image based upon truth identity. Was Gandhi's self image BS? Self model, self image; where is the difference? In light of apparent misleadings run rampant in our society I can see how the first inclination leans towards identifying self images as falsehoods. I'm thinking on these lines because I feel the my personal self image is not a facade or a marketing strategy and never purport myself to be anything over and above that which I am. Then again in retrospect I can see why many times throughout my life I was duped by people who's self image was highly based upon BS, while I was thinking, and I still do, that there was more integrity in a persons self image.
