PRETENCE

Pretence is an act of presenting a lie as the truth or an act of presenting false in place of truth. Pretence is a game of fools. Because, only the fool will pretend to be what he's not.

          Pretence is one of the most dangerous bad traits amidst our youths of today. A lot of them youths will want to be like another person, from their minds ,they want to look more presentable. They sell their personalities to pretence. This act is very dangerous. It is so dangerous that it will hinder your helpers. It is dangerous because, by the time you look back, it would be difficult to open up and still hiding will lead you to shame someday.

  Let's take this scenario 

A Lady who lives in a face me and I face you apartment has a cup that has a cover, but the cup is dirty. Very dirty but the outside was clean, a neighbour asks is that cup clean? She says yes so that she  wouldn't think she's dirty to have kept a dirty cup. Meanwhile the person should have helped her to wash it. Now, she's afraid of bringing the cup outside to wash, the cup remained stinky inside. She's discomforted, what if she wanted to wash it inside and the neighbour comes in? If she wanted to wash it outside the neighbour would question her, to avoid that, she packaged the cup with refuses and throw it away.

      That seems simple right? But I tell you that's how uncomfortable a pretender's life will be.

     My dear, don't  shackle yourself with pretence. Break free and open up. You are wonderfully designed for a glorious purpose. Don't hide your bads, open up to people who can make goods out of the bads of you.

Pretence is dangerous, be yourself.
