On faking

Fake news pieces circulating in the media make a problem that I find least bothering. The reality is that it is not a problem by itself, but the real problem behind that is the abysmal social divides. It is that every party seeks to manipulate information in its favour. But, such gimmicks hardly succeed as all parties know their positional interests well. Indeed, the social divide is a serious problem, but I am here to address another problem.

The problem I find perturbing from my particular position is that everybody seems to be faking. All suffer but undergo the sufferance silently. Often, they try to forget even the traumatic suffering as soon as possible. The fact is that most of these sufferances are avoidable, but people do not talk about them. Instead, they talk about such things as sports, films, or similar things or events as if their life depends on them, which in reality do not affect their life in any way. We mostly fake our life experiences.

The grand issues and even entertainment events are important but we pay disproportionate attention to them. Problems which affect our lives, which often result in severe mental agony, physical pain, and death, we tend to avoid or ignore. True civilization or commonwealth is about making life less painful, tragic, and insecure. Many societies have indeed done better in these respects and even in our case, great things are doable simply by will. At least, we can talk about these things.

The trivialization of the substance of life by faking we all do with all seriousness and sincerity.
