Farce / Fake

Farce / Fake

 

What? Who?

 

You, me, we… everybody! Life itself…simple existence! What am I talking about here?

 

Let’s start with life… from the day we become really aware of things, until the day of death, we are conscious that everything in the world is fake. How so? We are just used to hear lies – “everything will be all right” or “everything is very bad” – one extreme or the other. When everything is bad it’s because it’s going to get better, when things are going very well it’s because something really bad is about to happen. Nothing is ever just OK…

 

I hate when people tell me: “you’ll see that everything will be fine, you just have to fight for it!”. Honestly, I no longer believe in any of this because we spent our whole lives fighting, but what for?! For debt and headaches? “Study to be someone in life” – what? How many people have degrees and are unemployed?

 

I believe that, in this life, only swindlers and whoever has influential friends in the business can get away with luck, believe what I’m saying! No matter how hard a person tries, there will always be one of these two “groups” outwitting us! And it’s not because they’re smart, they did things on their own merit, or because they’ve worked hard for that place, the truth is that someone was already “reserved” the place for them. And then the company tells us with great enthusiasm – “the person who took the place is someone very experienced, has the course we need and fulfills all the requirements!” When we go to see it is the son of Mr. So-and-so, who has not even finished high school, but who “completes all the requirements”. I ask myself: “so, study for what?” We just need to be swindlers or have some “good” friends. There will always be those who “leave” us behind. So why should we kill ourselves studying, working hard, for later the son or nephew (wherever) of someone well-known arrives – without even know the difference between a fork and a spoon – and keeps the place that we’ve fought so much for? What is this, if not a scam?!?
 

Everything will be fine!” – one of the biggest hoaxes I’ve ever heard… EVERYTHING is a word that includes the totality of things… for some to look good, others will have to look less good… Why always use the same cliché? The same lie…? The only time everything will be alright is when we die… we will stop suffering, we will no longer feel,… EVERYTHING will be really fine…

 

Why you, I, we… are fake? Well, if we were asked: “when are you YOURSELF?” – everyone’s answer would be – “ALWAYS!” – of course… (LIE AGAIN)

 

All of us, from time to time, behave in ways that others expect us to, we say what others want to hear, we act as we think it is suitable to be “in a good standing”, … WE USE A PERCEIVED BEHAVIOUR!

 

– I’m not like that!!!” – most (if not all) are saying…

 

Oh, of course not, all of YOU are people with very strong personalities! The sad part is that when it’s time for you to prove it, YOU ARE NOT that strong!… 

Oops…


THINK HOW MANY TIMES:


  • …you went out with a friend of yours who asked you if they were well dressed if you like their hairstyle – or something – and you said – “You are!” or “I do!” (and you didn’t think that…) just to don’t let the person down;
  • …you went out with someone you liked and you were getting to know better and, although you didn’t entirely agree with what he /she was saying when you’re asked: “- Don’t you think?” – you said “- Yes…”;
  • … do you want to pass an image that doesn’t correspond to your true SELF at all – in a job interview, in a dating, … – and you “pretend” a bit to be what you’re not?
  • you aren’t in a good mood (“you are not on one of your days”, as I usually say) and you reply “- I’m fine! (what you’re going on about?!)”; 

 

Do you want more examples? Think about your day-to-day life, about the “roles” that society sometimes “forces” us to play so, somehow, we can fit in it…

 

And if there is someone who says, “I don’t behave that way, I’m ALWAYS ME!!!!” – is the biggest liar on the Earth and, moreover, is deceiving him/herself!… We all must swallow ‘FROGS’ throughout life…

 

We all use the PERCEIVED BEHAVIOUR from time to time, and THERE’S NO ONE WHO DOESN’T! Even when is to sometimes don’t put up with others, we just can’t be bothered… Now everyone agrees with me: “- Of course, only when I don’t want someone to bother me!…”

 

Those who think they are people with the strongest personalities are actually the weakest!!!

 

ATTENTION: there is a very big difference between PERCEIVED BEHAVIOUR and FALSE/LIAR! The PERCEIVED BEHAVIOUR *always* ends up being discovered, whereas the FALSES/LIARS, when the plans are well studied and premeditated, do not *always* get caught…

 

I’m not saying that we are all a ‘bunch’ of fakes, but that we are all ‘users’ (some more assiduous than others) of the PERCEIVED BEHAVIOUR!!!

 

What is your opinion? What do you think???
