something i think everone has stumbled with at one time or another - the opposite of sincerity.
i don't hate it, except i strongly dislike the fraud aspect.
but if it's acting as if you are okay, when if fact you are not, in order to pass through your day at work, or through many days, or situations, all the while hoping inside yourself that while you say one thing, you may temp. feel another, but your having the intention is to line up your belief inside with the actions and face wear outside to others in order to function... that resistance to cave-in to your illness, at all costs because if you can just get through today, you have lived to survive another day, in spite of the hypocrisy surrounding your beliefs about yourself vs. your actions - at the time.
actually, this behavior is involved with alot of healing aspects of certain mental illnesses ... especially ones we feel safer to hide.
this is how I view it personally.
politically, the responsibility is too great, for so many people, and it just doesn't wash well with me.
peace,
nightbird
