On Facades

Some people spend most of their time and energy creating facades for those in their lives that don't matter, instead of spending it wisely on those who do. They would rather hide behind a persona that is a seemingly better version of themselves than be exactly whom they are, out in the open. Some people also spend most of their time diverting others' attention away from ways in which they suck and do wrong, instead of being honest and honestly changing. They spend their whole lives focused on one thing: how to hide, without anyone, including themselves, noticing.

Not everyone is so blind or naive or soft. And not everyone has the courage to walk the high road.
