Embracing the Truth | Aaron Lee

In this world, human nature is often a tricky complex to analyze. One can never truly tell what another's personality is like until knowing the other, and even so, human nature is mysterious. Often, we are not what we appear to be on the outside - we are "phonies", a word that commonly recurs within J. D. Salinger's best-selling novel Catcher in the Rye. All of us, at some point in our lives, sometimes more than others, have been "phonies", creating facades of fake personalities to display to our community. Will doing so really help? Sure, you might gain something in the short-term; will you feel content about it? Will your character accept what you never were? How about we learn to embrace the truth and never let it go, instead of kicking it down.
