we want simple answers

for the most part, none of us really want to think.

I've been told that addicts often obtain medications of their choice by going to a doctor and faking symptoms. Some of us like to imagine that a doctor could have some deep analysis of things, but quite often they just respond to what is presented.

Aren't we all like this for the most part? While some of would like to try to describe life in all it's complexities, what people see is the simple label; that's what he is like.

In the end, is it better to try to present reality as you see it in all it's complexities or is it better to just focus on presenting yourself well? If you show up somewhere and say, hey, life is kind of sad sometimes, people are going to think that you're depressing. If you act like you have it all together, people will probably assume that you do...

It's kind of unfortunate that the world is like that for those of us who would like a little bit more gray and to speak of reality rather than presentation.... but it kind of is.
