| Theater How to look good.   The media in its various forms have made a lot of money out of offering diversions based on the distortions of truth. Even news readers play upon our biases, perceptions, and desires such as with, “If it bleeds, it leads”. As individuals we also have our moments of performance. It has been said, “All the world is a stage, and all the men and women merely players”.  We all may try to put our “best foot forward”, “make a good impression”, or “be seen in a favorable light”. When we conduct or present ourselves in a way to solicit a particular reaction from others, we distort reality. Whether from peer pressure, fear, seeking advantage, or even vanity, we can all find ourselves distorting the truth of who we are. The problem with distorting the truth is that we can deceive ourselves such that we become blind to truth.   James Clavell in writing about the orient says that they have six different faces and none of them are true. This might sound brutal, however, if one has experienced severe oppression, one might expect skill at appearing as one is expected. Not only do we live in a world of deceptive images, we can attempt to project our own. When this is done with self-deception, we can find ourselves adrift in a sea of lies. |
