Be yourself

What would the world look like if we projected ourselves as we are, and not the selves we wish to be? Would it suffer greatly at the overwhelming disappointment of our own erroneously built up expectations? Would we find solace in the reality of broken existence? Would we have to stop running from our own flawed identity and begin to make authentic connections through our shared sufferings? Is it possible, however unlikely, that the very thing that unifies us as creation is our desire to hide our true selves? I propose this possible hypothesis sheds light on the increasing sense of alienation we attribute to technological influence. However, it is not the machine that isolates man. The machine is but a means  to our own internal desire; the machine becomes the vessel for the perfect disguise.
