why do we even have to pretend?

Some of us are running hard for the sake of reaching a resolution and ideals of this year. But some others do not determine the direction or even have no idea where to run. May we all, including people who have determined the direction, and in the speed run, or are picking up speed in pursuit of what are our dreams.

Why dream? Because we all dream of nothing else than to become and remain a good person. Is it not so? One pointer that I like from Mr. MT is "the science of aging is never good". What does he mean? The point is, in my opinion, that goodness for this already exists and will always be there for us to shake him tightly, while we proceed, grow and evolve, toward the good of course.

What do you think if you hear an advice like this?
"Pretend as though it was a good person"

why do we even have to pretend? pretend it is not cheating?

Do not get me wrong yet, because the sentence contains a strong message, that this person with humility, realizing that he has not reached the target well. And please be distinguished by the phrase "good pretending" that has a negative meaning because it contains falsehoods.

So basically if we have not become what we want (which is good of course), then it shall apply as if already become or will become the person we want it. If we consistently pretend as though they had become, for long we we will become accustomed to. And without us knowing it, we've become the person we want it.

Pretending is a way to build

personal qualities are more mature

the higher class.

Because people who are in a class below,

does not have the qualities to be displayed

on the social class above it.

Pretending not negative,

Because pretending is a way to pay upfront

something that we do not have maturity.

Pretending not to be afraid, not nervous

perform in an environment that is more senior,

is not a sin, not a scam

but the self rescue efforts,

so that we can look at the maturity that we do not have.

Pretending it's something that needs to be,

and please be distinguished from falsehood

How about you? Do you have experience pretending as if it had become a good person?
