An authentic person is basically a bronze item
without tarnish. A truly 'authentic' person knows their faults, and bears the
marks on the front.
Therefore: a person who is not authentic has no faults.
They exist without this tarnish . . . or do they?
I know a couple of people who know their personal
'defects.' They mistake the evidence of these faults for rude marks of their
image. What they do not seem to know- is that understanding is their key- it
unlocks the door that leads to authenticity. It serves, actually, as the replacement for it.
How do they not realize that understanding yourself
is the same thing? Those who do not realize that they have faults exist without
tarnish. Yet, once you polish them, you must find a mark that has been covered
for years, behind the layers-
And, did you know? Bronze does not actually exist without
marks . . .
