In the end.

What you’ve posted is essentially true. It seems like very few people these days can accept who they really are and most prefer to fight their entire lives to be someone or something they are not. In the world of work it’s called “fake it ’till you make it.” And people that are deeply rooted in that way of life disgust me.

I see it this way – life is like the system of belts and pulleys on an engine. And acceptance keeps everything accurately aligned and operating smoothly. But misrepresenting oneself or pretending to be what you are not results in a misalignment that creates friction and destructive forces. Ultimately they live without a conscience as a narcissist or a sociopath which results in those destructive forces being distributed among those around them or they absorb them in the form of depression, anxiety or other forms of discontent.

This is not to say we should be complacent about ourselves – we can certainly learn, change and improve. But when people endeavor to manipulate others into believing they are something other than what they really are rather than striving to achieve personal goals or abilities through legitimately learning and growing, it results in negative energies and influences over themselves or others.

It’s really too bad that honesty and integrity are no longer valued. If they were, there would be a lot fewer members here.
