Philosophy, anyone?
Ahhhh, I don't know Martin - I just think it's the beer (or, if you're buying, the double G&T in my case
) talking. As Billy Joel once said, '
You may be right. I may be crazy. But it just might be a lunatic you're looking for...'.
With the pace of life, and the fact that Andy Warhols fifteen minutes of fame will come along to all, most people have the tools available if they want to portray themselves as something other than waht they are. But, the consequences can have downsides. If you deviate from being either true to yourself or pure intnetions, you will be exposed as your true self or other by others at some point. Accountability is best and easiest defended when you stay true to yourself and nothing else.
