Analogy and metaphor are some of the greatest simplification tools we have at in our narrative toolbox, a simple story or parable be it real or fictitious can help bring people across to our side of the bridge of understanding better than a clunky, long-winded actual example especially if it is in regard to dry subject matter.
I wholeheartedly agree with the liar vs reality example, I work with a few people who talk endlessly about how they are 'grafters' while demonstrating something utterly contradictory ,this has got to cause an amount of internal conflict.
There are however areas of my life where I have been wholeheartedly guilty of applying a perception fliter to my own actions, sometimes for many years, this can be distressing when reality kicks in and you acknowledge who you 'really' are and how you actually play out these aspects of your life.
Oh I often mean to ask something Taraz, but I 'always' notice the thing that prompts my query immediately after hitting the post response button...

Is the above a nod to you being a founding Father here? lol. Take care man, thought provoking post as ever. 👍🙂
It definitely is sad to wake up from this - but it is better to wake up , than staying asleep for even longer.
Definitely not founding, but definitely on the chain at the start of Hive. On Steem, I was signing of "an original", as all the content is very much original. :)
Yeah much better to acknowledge and 'own up', twist things, change and improve those aspects of life.
Thanks for clearing that up, been meaning to ask for the longest time. Take good care man 😎
