Recently I asked one of my friends a question…why is it that we all complain about our jobs, hate our jobs, but still go in to work every day and stick to. He told me that the purpose of society is to teach us to love what we hate…the essence being pretend.
I asked him that because im one of those people…who complains everyday..about the drudgery of life…but still I do nothing.. I go into work everyday.. I still meet the people I complain about ever so often….I call life meaningless and pointless, yet I do nothing to discover the purpose..or even create one..in effect..im basically pretending to like my existence..and unwilling to change it.
Pretense is in everything..in everybody…everybody is pretending…pretending that they are doing their very best…pretending that they are happy…pretending that they are faithful and loving and caring..its all lies dammit!!
I learnt the art of pretense at a very young age...my love from theatre probably stems from watching how well people can pretend….with every advancing stage in life I fine tune my ability to pretend…to pretend to care…to pretend to not be selfish…to pretend that I function on some sort of principals and morals…like normal ppl apparently do…..i think id do well on stage!!...I can lie with a straight face.. believable lies..its simple..the essential elements are :
- Know the details of the lies…have a cover up for everything
- When lying..keep it simple..dont give out more details than necessary…even tho u already planned for it
- Believe it…for only if u can see it.. and believe it can you make someone else believe it
- Stick to it.
Hitler said it perfectly - “Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it”
Truth be told - cause ever other quote gave truth supremacy over lies…so many ppl cant be wrong right? - truth is…..i am selfish..i run on emotions not morals…im unprincipled..i care only for animals..i dislike humans and put up with them with a certain sense of resignation and disdain ..and all of this is also a lie because I still need people..and there are people I love…
“The worst lies are the lies we tell ourselves. We live in denial of what we do, even what we think. We do this because we're afraid. We fear we will not find love, and when we find it we fear we'll lose it. We fear that if we do not have love we will be unhappy.”
