Friends tell you the truth. Sometimes this truth is a bit bitter but that's why they are friends. The texts themselves are meant to make the ego lose some ground: let it go! Do it... NOW!

"Reader! William Thackeray saw it clearly like so many before him and after him. Not everybody, though, could describe it like him. What do you need to observe the daily Vanity Fair so clearly and then write about it ? Irony? Sarcasm? Disgust? Compassion? Non-attachment? Love? Understanding? Probably all of it, at least to a certain degree. Just the imagination how much energy is spent to let people keep up appearances could make one doubt any human intelligence. Of course keeping up appearances serves only one purpose. Love, understanding and tolerance don't play a role here, no: it is to protect the observer to become the victim of a vicious personal attack himself. On a political level those things may decide if a war takes place or not. (And one might remember: wars take a real toll on human lives!) Anyway, to let somebody escape from their responsibility to (publicly) admit a mistake huge efforts are made. And of course with return benefits. Somehow the naïve thought that if you spilled the milk then you clean it up, too, was never fashionable. The efforts made to cover up anything that could scratch a bit of one's reputation on the other hand are amazing. How about acknowledgement and forgiveness? Wouldn't that be fair? And compassionate? And take away the stress of being 'perfect'? So why don't you, Reader, forgive me all those little DDT stories I write and that maybe don't find your agreement? Or, if that's not a good example: let's find something inside ourselves which needs urgent forgiveness. And then let it go . . . . let it go . ."
