Optical Allusionist

If I were to ask you, "Are you honest?", how many of you would say "Why, yes, thank you. I most certainly am." Perhaps the better question would be "Are you integretous?" (Yes, I know that's not a word- don't worry about it.) What would you say then? Are you true to yourself? What does it mean to truly hold to your integrity?
We live in a world of masks, personas, and allusions. I spell "illusions" with an 'a' in this case because that is just what they have become. We are master Allusionists, alluding to the world who we "really" are. 'Dramaturgy' is the idea stating that we all have a role in life. We're actors. We have costumes, lines, and dress rehearsals. When we mess up, we know it, and are set back into line.

True integrity includes showing and being comfortable with who you are in truth, now who you appear to be.

This is why I am, as we all are, an "allusionst". Not only am I an illusion, but an allusion. I show you what I want you to see of me.
