On being fake

I do not understand why people are fake. It is just so much easier being yourself. Why be like someone else? Society is like someone else. No one lives their own values. Their values are the values of whoever they are with at the time or whoever speaks the loudest.

Some's values of those on TV, such as soaps. You are what you take in. Garbage in, garbage out. Must be why morals at a low. They do it, so it's ok for me to do it. It's the in thing.

Sad, sad, sad.

I did a search on being fake. There are so many websites to give you instructions on how to be fake. Whether it's personality, values, or physical.

Then I changed the terms to why are people fake. You have wikipedia, wikianswers, blogs, yahoo answers. No one gives a legitimate reason. Why would we all want to be alike when we were born to be individual, unique.

WikiAnswers answer:

It could be because they are insecure of themselves. Some people don't like who they are, so they pretend to be someone who their not. Its not always intentional, if they are having a rough time at home, then they may want to imagine being someone else. its not always a bad thing, sometimes it can help you get back on your feet if your feeling helpless. But its always best to just be yourself.



Someone wrote a song about it:

TLC Lyrics "Case Of The Fake People" Urban Dictionary:

1. fake people

A fake person is someone who is not genuine and will do whatever it takes to make themself look good. They will take credit for other's work or down play the good of others to illuminate oneself.
Fake people take part in hipocrisy, lies, and will turn on friendship the moment it no longer is a benefit for them. They will change thier personality to fit in to a certain group.

Being real does not have to be advertised. It shines like a light...except, maybe to the fakes. It is definitely an admirable quality. Today's society is filled with liars, cheaters, fakes and flakes...and that's just for starters. To me someone who is real is someone who can be trusted. That in itself puts one in an elite class.
