Imitation
“Imitation is always unconscious. A person imitating another’s ideas or behavior patterns is unaware of doing so. He insists his ways are both original and independent. He will resist being told otherwise, for his cluster of imitations have hardened into what he calls his ‘I’ and ‘me’. The last thing he will permit is the destruction of what he calls his ‘individuality’. Among other errors, he fails to realize that by borrowing another man’s habits he also borrows that man’s problems.”
