So many posers out there. Why do so many feel the need to pretend to be something they are not? To label themselves as one thing but not follow the standards or values of that group? Politics, social groups,religious groups…
We take what we like and throw out the rest. But if we do that, don’t we become something entirely different? Shouldn’t we then call ourselves by another name?
When you make a copy of a copy, you soon have something that is not exactly like the original. If I did that cutting pickets for my fence, I would have a fence that started off uniform, but would become noticeably “off” or misshapen by the time it was done.
I want the real thing. No more settling for some fun-house mirror representation, no matter how interesting it looks.
