Now that being said, when you read it I personally can say I know people who claim all this but act differently, take true and actual not imaginary.... People claim they have done this, this and this but half the time they embellish the account of what happened, or being "no less then stated", we all try to make ourselves sound better then what we are, society has made us believe it is not ok to be imperfect, despite all the things that say otherwise. We don't want people to judge us on the "real" us but we never show the true selves from the start.
Free of pretence, falsehood, or affectation, now who can sit here and claim this one with a true honest yes, every choice we make whether it is choosing a mate, or what we say to people in a discussion has pretence, or falsehood, again you want to look like the better person so I wouldn't start with "hi, I'm a loner, introverted and I dislike confrontation" when meeting someone for the first time. Nope I would be much different why because we are told first impressions are everything . So we make the conscious choice to falsify who we really are to impress people.
I think everyone has a real ness about them as the dictionary states realness is this:
Realness(noun)
the quality or condition of being real; reality
in actuality we all have the quality to be "real" but it is just a condition and in actual fact we the one who claim to be real are not we are just lying to ourselves. We do have realness about us in which other people can see, we will always be guarded about who we are to avoid the consequences of being imperfect.
