About This Quote
In the modern world, the idea of being yourself has been replaced with the idea of being fake. This is a dangerous myth because too many people try to be something they are not. They come up with a fake identity that can't stand up to scrutiny by others. They will then go out into the world and try to be that fake person that they have created.
However, what they find is that it's impossible to be fake forever. People always see through the façade and begin to turn against you. The way out of this trap is to actually accept who you are and become the person you want to be.
