The Truth Behind Pretension

Sunday, September 4, 2011

A crooked smile, a broken laughter --- humans' masterpieces I guess.

When pretension is the last resort, honesty to oneself is ignored. It's quite hard to explain why, but human as I am, I tend to conceal what I truly feel so as not to offend others. As much as I want to be true to myself, but if doing so would compromise my relationship with other people then I might as well pretend.

A ridiculous idea maybe, but isn't this what everybody is doing most especially when they do it to protect the ones that they love?
