To Be And To Appear

Someone has famously remarked, "All that glitters is not gold."

Have you ever come across people who aren't what they seem to be? Well, definitely yes. This is the most common trait of humans nowadays, to appear what they aren't. Pretence is considered perfectly normal and infact is a highly desirable characteristic in the present day world. 

And if you are one of those people who cannot pretend or don a false to attitude, then you are in for a hard time. You are likely to face hardships, resection and alienation. And this is very much expected also. Because, the world works that way. Fake is the new trend. And most people want to be in trend. So, you cannot expect much fairness here.

In does pain a person like me who loathes and tends to stay away from any pretence. But, the thing is, however hard you may try to do so, you cannot completely get away from it. At some point or other, you are sure to encounter hypocrisy and falsehood. 

And there is a problem with genuine people. They tend to take things to heart. They stress a lot over injustice and spurious acts taking place around them. They cannot remain undeterred by such things. 

These are the people who worry over others' hypocrisy, even though they know they cannot change anything about it. Such people are vulnerable to feelings of sadness and getting disheartened. 

Most people would say that one mustn't worry about what others do or how they behave. One must keep themselves unaffected by such two-facedness.

But a person like me only knows how difficult it is to stay immune to such fallacy.

But to be honest, you can't do much about it, except for recognise such people and not trust them. That's all you can do. Be careful of the shiney coating as it is usually fake.
