Like hell it is...

A'right, let's just clear something up:

It is possible to don a white lab coat, throw a stethoscope around your neck, wander the halls of a hospital and convince people you're a doctor. Agreed.

However, this works only so long as no one actually gets sick and needs you to operate.

You see my point? Perception is not actually reality, no matter how many times you tell yourself that it is. Not in any meaningful way at least.

But I suppose one must actually have an affinity for the meaningful before they appreciate the concept.

Sometimes I think people spout these mantras to avoid actually having to do the work to become what they are pretending to be. Unfortunately there are far too many folks in the world willing to buy whatever current version of reality is being foisted upon them.

For the record, buying into their surface reality doesn't do them, you, or -- yes, I'll say it -- the world any good.

Just sayin'.
