You are never authentic!

This could also be titled Everybody lies all the time or What everyone ought to know about honesty and authenticity.

You Are Never Authentic

Let’s stop pretending.
Let’s stop pretending that we’re honest.
Let’s stop pretending that authenticity is some kind of virtue badge.

The reality?

We lie.

A lot.

And we’ve been trained to do so since birth. Some of the earliest “truths” we’re fed Father Christmas, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny are lies we collectively agree to keep telling. It's cultural, it’s comfortable, and it’s how we learn to lie with a smile.

So let’s cut through the fluff. The dystopian aspect of society is we are literally told, brought up and live in a lie. From conception to birth to living our lives mostly based on lies.
