Last post for day. Doug's watchin' me! Hmmm, maybe he's at jury duty... ;)

Examples of inathenticity (lack of coincidence of perceived and actual life-possibilities):

The woman who perennially deceives herself about her husband's serial infidelity.

The parents who abuse their children and are then surprised when their progeny shun them in old age.

The person who again and again tries to solve their peoblems by following the latest fad, without addressing the actual reasons for their problems (my ex-girlfriend's mom comes to mind).

The soldier who steps on the battlefield absolutely sure that he's not going to die, because death is "something that happens to other people."

Hell, by this point practically anybody who is still holding on to the neocon fantasy about Iraq is probably being inauthentic. ;)

And so forth.
