We are real in every sense of our living. Whether it comes to our physical self or our emotional self. When we get into pretending syndrome then ? It may be the sign of escape or we might be the victim of taking too much of what is around us. We all tend to be agreeable to the impending situation and here comes the first sign of descending towards pretending.
If we pretend to make us appear little more closer to the society, it will not help us to become who we destined to become.
In a general sense, society in which we have to live is an assortment of unmet desires and unrequited feelings. At surface, things are managed to showcase living. Getting into this is unconscious, but as folks say, it becomes habitual.
It is such a sweet trap-habitual, situational, and unconscious. The cost of pretending is the cost we pay in loosing our real self in the process and in living the lives of someone else, might be the life of no one. Pretending makes us even not to recognize who we are in real.
Pretending is powerful and it can fabricate your own self, your real self. You will only grow a copy of yourself.
There is no honor in having an un-thoughtful copy of yourself.
