Identity is primarily an unconscious conformity with objects. It is not an 𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, but an 𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘳𝘪 likeness which was never the object of consciousness. Identity is responsible for the naive assumption that the psychology of one man is like that of another, that the same motives occur everywhere, that what is agreeable to me must obviously be pleasurable for others, that what I find immoral must also be immoral for them, and so on. It is also responsible for the almost universal desire to correct in others what most needs correcting in oneself.
