This above all: to thine own self be true

If these words were as easily lived as spoken, there would be a great deal less pain in the world.  No one would need to wear masks to hide themselves from the world; nor would there be a need to fight your way to the top of the heap because everything you would do was authentic and you'd sleep at night as soundly and securely as sleep ever was.

But these words and the deeds they inspire in the twisted darkness of the human soul are vastly different things.  We live in a world where the temptation to get ahead can be so great that to cheat and to lie seem to be, sometimes, the only means to the 'good' end.  Prosperity.

Is this all there is after all?  Mask and manipulation and the truth sets you free to be insane?

So many questions without answers.
