How
are privacy, means the time we spend alone and
social interaction, means the time we spend with others, linked ?
Private time is often seen as an opportunity to think and meditate about our human condition.
But how well do we get to know ourselves ? And how do we raise consciousness, meaning being aware of who we are and what is going on in our mind ? We always have struggled to comprehend the nature of consciousness and its origin, but self reflection through social interaction might be one of the key factors.

We always have struggled to comprehend the nature of consciousness and its origin, but self reflection through social interaction might be one of the key factors.
In fact, consciousness of self arises within social acts by
virtue of self taking the perspective of other. When we interact to
get to know the other, we in fact get to know ourself by becoming
other for ourself. This is also true for wearing jewellery : via
body adornment we express ourselves through pieces we have often not
even consciously chosen but driven by intuition. Therefor, jewellery
is a tool of communication and sharing since the
way others look at us wearing these pieces can reveal something about
ourselves.
Therefor, wearing a piece of jewellery is not only an opportunity to tell something about you : the way the other is looking at it may help him not only to learn about the wearer, but in the end, reveal him something about himself.
