We often do things or act in ways to impress others that we rarely carry on for ever. After the initial period of discovery, thrill and the sense of accomplishment, we forget that the person still expects the same treatment that was bestowed upon him/her initially, and vice versa.
Life would be so much easier without pretense and artificial emotions... easier for others to comprehend and see 'the real us'? But, would we lose all that we have attained if we show our true self?
But then, doesn’t this desire to be liked by others brings out the good person for a few seconds… and we continue to be ‘good’ till the time we are with that person? So, is it not better that we remain good for at least some part of the day and give the person the benefit of bringing out the good person from the beast within us.
I guess, if we all just pretend to be good to others... there is hope that in the long run, our pretense solidifies into our personality and becomes a part of our personality.

I feel that this thought is just amazing. But I am doubtful whether this can actually happen. If the inner self becomes good........this world would become such a good place to live in...........
