Hypocrisy Comments

This is a sharp, incisive character sketch of a Person of Our Time, who feels she must present herself falsely to be accepted. She appears to be a creative individual, even an artist. but she lacks a fundamental confidence in herself and so she covers up this shortcoming with costumes both outside and inside. I am sympathetic to her, the last thing I would do is pass negative judgment on her. She may have an inner need for her outer show, she may be carrying wounds that are far from healed. I don't think we list hypocrisy as a sin, do we? I think in her case it's a survival mechanism.

exteriority.. yes, that is all that counts today, for so many - too many.. A good point, Maria! P.S.: maybe you'll find some time for reading/comment on my poetry.. :) Ciao from Italy Fabrizio
