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?

I see your point... but.... I just like to pick my battles. And breaking yourself while trying to change the system will not do anybody any good... I will be the first to criticize problems in society. However, I do not like to whine... me feeling bad is my problem and I can confess that to family or friends and whatnot, but the rest of world does not care.
I call it diplomacy. It saves lifes and troubles, so in the end, it probably is not that evil. And I am all for higher good. What good will it do to let people down just because I feel depressed and it would be fake to pretend I am not? In the end they would feel bad. Would you feel better if people told you to your face they hate your guts?
I don't think Krishnamaurti wanted us to be selfish and swayed by our emotions... come on, we do it more than enough.
