Now you may be thinking that some people put up a false front so that others can be spared the pain of emotional turmoil and harm, that which is done to actually protect the innocent or weak is honorable and commendable and not the type of false front I am talking about. I am talking about those false fronts that are exploitative of others for one's own sake. The type of behavior we all have experienced in our lives. Not only having false fronts perpetrated on ourselves but we as well perpetrating false fronts on others. It is time for the game of one-upmanship to end. We are not created to lie to each other. We are what we are and most of the time that is a disappointment from our own point of view. However, our point of view on ourselves lacks the perspective of the same feelings everyone else is having. In other words, we are all disappointing to ourselves and that is because we all think and know we are better than what we have expressed so far in our lives. Knowing that we are not much different about too many things should allow us to relax a bit and not be so concerned about projecting an otherwise false impression. We do want to put the best face on who we are and what we do but not to the point of falsity. We are human and by that very fact we are incomplete as to why we exist other than conjecture. We start out in a position of disadvantage given the logical sequencing of our minds. We have no blueprint for life that is well established beyond what we may think or believe exists. So just being ourselves is closer to the truth of who we are and as such should help to build the humility in us that actually leads to a confident, positive purpose driven life.

We all live in our different societies and have to live by their rules or live on the perimeters or solitairily. Or do we try to change things? Difficult when you are an outcast. Or do we start raising our children within this society so they know the benefits and the duty needed to form a community where you learn humility, compassion, your own strength and how you can structure it to fullfill your own life?
Of course it all depends on what our strengths are. If we can keep our eye on the bigger picture and teach that bigger picture we are better off as a society. That we are limited in our perspectives is what causes us the most uncertainty.
