The real win here is to better oneself as a human.
Many people are illiterate about how to live life properly to be honest! Why would you try to show people you are a good and honest person when in your closet you know you are the opposite of it.
Why not just take responsibility for yourself and set things in the way it should, and become a better human without the guilty conscience that you are actually not.
If you wanna be bad, be bad and if you wanna be good, be good. I mean it is obviously fantastic to be good and honest.
The moment you're acting so nice and good for people to see when your real self is nothing close to that, then I believe the person is lacking as a human and needs to work towards being better, I mean that should be every human's primary goal,right? "To be better".
Great post Galenkp!
Best wishes.
I guess it's easier to pretend to be a good person or to be doing the right thing than actually doing it. The thing is that the individual knows and that can lead to other things that are unproductive and destructive to character, mental health and life itself. Seeking to improve in multiple ways is what a human should spend their time doing, it lifts not pulls down on a person and it ripples outwardly to touch others positively also.
