What I have learned (life lessons) - is that there is no faking authenticity - try as you may the mask drops at one point or another for the whole world to see -

Is it wrong? I don't know - ppl do what they have to do either pretending or otherwise - same goes with life - one can live it without trying to manipulate things (I prefer it that way) - on the other hand one might argue that you can't expect things to go your way without a bit of finagling
