The words revolve around finding one's self, seeing through societal traps in limiting one's identity, and observing authenticity of others. I feel there's a strong bent towards individualism because pressures of conforminity are so strong. Yet having to spend so much psychic energy in defending, and creating one's identity, they lose the natural ease one has with the world.
Reminds me of the High Standards Guy phenomenon. A guy who lives by high standards himself, dismisses women because of their character defects. A more skillful approach would be to see the defects as they are are while also seeing the perfections as they are. That is there is an acceptance of others as they are, while engaging in skillful actions to promote goodness.
At some point an Indie may discover the ungraspable Zen mind, and he will see the answer to defects of personality in others is not to take an opposing stance, but to return to beyond duality of that perception.
