I watch the modern day reality shows on TV and I see a lot
of people living a pretentious life. I look around me in the real world and I
see some people doing the same. This makes me wonder whether having money to
pay for cable is doing some people good or bad. Lol!
I say this because there is nothing good or advantageous in
living a life of pretence. It's make-believe, it's fake, it's not real! What
beauty is there in creating a fake image and persona just to impress people?
Some people are the exact opposite of the image and impression they create.
They love eating swallows (eg Eba, Amala, fufu etc) but pretend they can't
stand the sight of these types of food in public. They eat spaghetti and rice
at parties while making sure they openly condemn those that are eating swallows
publicly with pride.
Some people are praying to land a rich and well to do
partner, yet they condemn anyone that openly declares the same desire. They put
their noses in the air and look down with superiority complex and say that it's
not good to be choosy. As if they have it all together.
Pretentious people will
like something and they will claim to dislike it. They pretend to be
rich when they are not, they form being happy when they are the saddest humans
on earth. Everything about such people is fake. Their smile is fake. Their
lifestyle is make-believe. Their lives is filled with all sort of drama. Their
relationships are shallow and meaningless. Their words are empty and
worthless. Everything about them is an
illusion.
I wonder why people like pretence when life is already
complicated as it is. Why do pretentious people add more complications to their
lives?. The answer I came up with is that people pretend because they want to
belong, they want to blend, they don't want to face the truth of their lives
and deal with it. They believe that the only way to be happy is by pretending
to have it better than others and fake it. So that gullible people will envy
them and stuffs like that.
I don't believe in such reasoning at all. I believe in being
real. Be who you are both in public and privately. A pretentious life cannot
stand the test of time. Build a good and real life for yourself. You don't have
to copy the fake life others are living. You are at your best when you are the
real you, crude or refined.
Life is to be enjoyed and not to be endured!
