The Inauthentic Us

The Inauthentic Us

All of us conceal our true behaviors to fit into society and to respect social norms.

You can’t be 100% authentic. It is just inconsiderate to be so. 

How bizarre it is if everyone starts to assert their authentic self without any forethought.

  • Burping in a meeting
  • Nose picking in a restaurant
  • Hurling insults to ones you dislike

That’s what self-control is for.
