Human Revelation
I think each person writes, speaks, and acts with a certain care. (not heideggarian) Even people who seem carefree, or worse--hampered by social anxiety--act because they have a deep care about how they will be received. People who are bent on exposing a psychological tendency, especially when they expose the tendency with gusto, either succumb to that same tendency themselves or are cautious of it and try desperately not to fall into it. Basically what I’m saying is that buried within the things people do and say is a deep expression of who they are--and we don’t often assess this expression well or even take notice of it. This is the revelation Arendt speaks of.
