Actors know how to put on a mask and keep wearing it, day after day, week after week. They can provide an impressive impersonation of any character they care to emulate. That's an option open for you, if you really want to put up a pretence. But why should you want to do that? Does it really matter what others think of you? Are issues of superficial status really so important? You don't have to be anyone today, other than yourself. And that's the you you are now, not the you that you used to be.
Wonderful things happen on Earth. Birds fly. Trees grow. Snow-capped mountains produce crystal-clear streams. Terrible things happen, too. Volcanoes. Tsunamis. Tornadoes and droughts. As with nature, so with human nature. We are all of us capable of being great saints or sinners. Often, we swing from one extreme to the other - so fast that we don't always even know which extreme we have swung to! Our circumstances can sometimes change just as fast. What has lately been looking bad, may soon start looking good.
People are forever urging one another to 'get real.' When they want to be insulting or dismissive they say, 'This person is living in a fantasy world.' We all, to some extent, live in a bubble that our imagination has created for ourselves. We see things the way we want to see them. We interpret all the information we receive and use it to support our favourite theory or our preferred perspective. A most inspiring development is due soon. Don't let anyone tell you that it is not safe to believe in what this implies.
You know that feeling you get when you are doing a jigsaw? You have invested hours of painstaking labour, when it suddenly occurs to you that all the pieces may not be there. What, even if it is a brand new box, if the manufacturers inadvertently missed a crucial segment? How annoying would that be? Welcome to life on Planet Earth; the place where everything nearly, but not quite, fits together. A key situation in your life now can be improved. It cannot, though, be perfected. Near enough is good enough for you, for now.
