A single moment spent in a business meeting or at a pub is more than enough to reveal the basic human truth that we are all faking it most of the time.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
But then acting is all about faking. We're all very good at faking things that we have no competence with.
Scientific discoveries matter much more when they're communicated simply and well - if you can't explain your work to the man in the pub, what's the point?
Seldom, very seldom, does complete truth belong to any human disclosure; seldom can it happen that something is not a little disguised, or a little mistaken.
We occasionally stumble over the truth but most of us pick ourselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
We don't have truth delivered to us very often, especially in this very commercialized world.
My business affairs are entirely proper, and no amount of smear, rumour or innuendo will alter that fact.
I'm always really surprised by people who are comfortable revealing all of their secrets on TV or in a magazine. It's actually quite shocking to me.
We can't give the truth to someone as an object, we can only point to it, inviting inspection. It is in that spirit that we can hear or read a teaching and then look at our own lives, at our own experiences to see whether anything might have been revealed about them.
It is a very honest world, our work. I think you cannot fake anything.
A single moment spent in a business meeting or at a pub is more than enough to reveal the basic human truth that we are all faking it most of the time. We congratulate a rival on a triumph when actually we are choking on spite. We are cordial and attentive to crashing bores.
