Everyone is so busy trying to appear to be something that they are not, that they miss out on the experiences they could have had. Had they just been who they were in the first place. I think we, each one, have been guilty of this fallacy at times in our life. It's only recognising it within ourselves and putting it aside that it becomes apparent in our peers. A gentle prompt may be better than a slap to the face. :-) A thought provoking post again,my friend.
