As a person with issues, I'm wondering why the rest of you (without issues, I guess)
don't feel bad about faking so much. Billions of people? If billions of people need to pretend things are fine when nothing is, isn't that a pretty sick way of living life?
What bothers me is that people struggling daily get asked, "How are you?" and are expected to answer, "Fine." If they agree to play along with the Game of Pretend, aren't they just conforming to that "profoundly sick society" of which Krishnamurti speaks so eloquently?
