Internal life

A person's internal life is essential, when we ask others how they are feeling do we truly (want to) listen to the expressed emotion, or do we have a (or series thereof) ready answer(s) such as "This too will pass"?

Unfortunately, a person's functionality takes precedent over their internal life.

Being functional (which infers outside influences) is necessary for social survival.

Being self aware is necessary for personal survival.

Combining both is living.
