Is authenticity overrated?
What it authenticity?
Verbally saying what we think – unfiltered?
Or,
Acting on any impulses – that we may or may not, have tried to cage within?
When one talks about authenticity,
One would ask,
How good of a virtue is self-control?
Say I don’t like a person,
And I want to hurt that person.
Should I then:
Apply self-control and not hurt that person (and probably be, say, a hypocrite)
Or,
follow my instinct and just lash it out because that’s what I want to do.
Where should we draw the line?
Is authenticity overrated?
Or is it simply misinterpreted, or misunderstood?
