A lot of energy is consumed in pretending.
We spend most of our lives pretending to ourselves and to others.
Pretending to care, pretending to like, pretending to be good, pretending to be selfless.
Pretending to be fine. Pretending to be interested.
Pretending to be individual personas.
We pretend to like or care about people.
In truth, do you really care about others?
Are you really selfless?
What would happen if we stopped pretending?
Do we pretend simply to fit in? Simply to avoid being banished from the tribe?
