Pretence cannot be camouflaged, it reveals itself through our stares, our emotional performances, and our ineptitude. We wear entitlement in our bosoms, and believe no one has the right to possesses that which we can’t have but feel possessive of. Possessions are temporary acquisitions in our present lifetime, we can’t take it with us when we die. Instead of seething and stewing over temporal things, we should prioritize self renewal and restoration.
