Life of pretense
What life is full of?
Pretense.
People pretend to be something they are not.
Pretend to be happy when they are not.
Pretend to be good when they are bad.
Pretend to be rich when they are poor.
Pretend to be clever when they are dumb.
Even toddlers are good at pretending.
They can pretend to cry when they don't get what they want.
It is probably called human instinct.
It is probably due to survival sake.
It is probably the effect from societal pressure.
Hypocrisy is such a vague persona of any individual.
Truth is there's no telling if the person is pretending or genuine.
It is a matter of perception.
People are afraid of the perception of another.
Because the world is all about perceiving.
And if you want to be accepted in this temporary world,
you have to work hard to be perceived the best.
Or choose to keep to yourself and live in misery when you don't.
Ain't it sad ?
Well... this is just what
I perceive.
