Deception

Life is like a drama as many people said. Which explains why most of us are wearing a social mask aka "persona" when interacting with other people. Some act to be cute, some act to be friendly, some act to be tough, some act to be cool and the list goes on...

The main question now would be, is it necessary to pretend to be someone else or to adopt a totally different behavior when you are meeting or socializing with someone else? In most cases, I would say it is necessary. The society nowadays has lesser tolerance towards those who tried to act out of norm, such as positive criticism even it were for the benefit of the listener. You can say it's weird, but I guess people nowadays need too much about feeling good about themselves till the extend they don't mind to be blinded by lies if those lies can make them feel good, but they most likely don't tolerate criticism even if those criticism helps them one way or another.

Anyone who don't obey such social norms might ended up being booted out from a group or being left out of anything. Humans are social beings afterall, and I guess such punishment is abit too harsh for most of us, and most people have no choice but to 'act' with one another, just like the saying "if you can't beat them, join them".

It's very weird, but for some reason, most people only dwelve deeper and deeper in something even when they know it's wrong. Humans are weird huh, and I guess that what makes each of us more 'interesting'.
