to be, not to seem

These are such simple words, simple truths, but why do we all pretend, build ourselves something incredibly important and big, forgetting to be real... We want to look stronger, more powerful, more fashionable, richer, more handsome, and the list goes on endlessly..... But the simple question is, for what? With these actions we create a big and false bubble around ourselves. We want to get rid of fake news, but at the same time we wear fakes, we want the truth from the government, but we ourselves lie every day to our loved ones, don't you think it's nonsense? If you want to be surrounded by honest people, start with yourself. Be real!
