Authenticity

 "Be and not seem." - Ralph Waldo Emerson 

Most people that know me, know that I am always blabering about authenticity. But I also believe in "fake it until you make it." 

There is a difference between being nice and seeming nice, seeming friendly and being friendly. An otter looks cute but remains an apex predator. The majority of people I met were really bad liars and more than awful manifestors, yes I am being judgy here. Most people do not hesitate to resort to lies yet they cannot sustain it. The truth always comes back to bite their stinky behinds. 

Maintaining an illusion demands the training, the management that would be needed to attend to an ambulant circus. It is a lot of work. The better strategy is projecting who it is you want to be into the future then catch up to that little prediction. It is like going window shopping for that pair of boots before you got your paycheck. Why does it work you ask? Because you already sold your time to X or Y company during the month and you know the money will follow.

Quick thought here, why is it so that we have to pay before using goods but companies use our time and then pay us. They can decide not to pay us. I know there are laws and ect but still why is it acceptable?
