There will always be a gap between what we feel and our ability to express what we feel. The more we wish for the gap to be smaller, and the more we want to tell ‘the truth’, then the wider this perverse gap yawns. We act constantly, not because we are purposely lying, but because we have no choice. Living well means acting well. Every moment in our lives is a tiny theatrical performance. Even our most intimate moments have a public of at least one: ourselves.
