| .:. And >POP!< |
Every single day, the truth that life is everything but perfect is revealed to me more and more. Things you thought were strong enough, like say, relationships - be it romantic or not - have succumbed to the hell-lot of pressures that the world has hammered it with. I, for one gave in, too, at some point and in some ways. I have had my share of put-on smiles, of false-and-about-to-crack laughs, or hard-to-utter kind words in times of near war-dom. To those who never had theirs I say that to pretend is hard but to tell the truth is far more complicated most of the time.
A friend who left once had a personal wish: that I learn to lie, or atleast be able to carry a lie. As of now, I think that wish is already fulfilled, or atleast I am now able to pull it off in the company of a not-so-close audience. Honestly, I don't know if I should be proud.
Don't get me wrong, I do not condemn pretentiousness, nor do I abhor people who practice it. At some point I do understand that a little dose won't kill anyone because it seems that it already is an essential to get past one's everyday life. It just makes me wonder about the virtues I once thought were common to everyone, like truth, sincerity, or plain un-apathy.
And then again, you wonder. |
