Fake?

Just watched the social network. Mark Zuckerberg is definately a genius. But it definately makes me wonder about the reality of things. It seems to me that reality and things that are real become a rarity, scarse. Facebook and other social network sites give new opportunities to be fake.

But why are people acting fake, producing fake handbags of Gucci, A&F, Chanel,... Fake tans... To protect themselves? To be entertained? To get the attention of that one person your afraid you'll never be accepted by if you are just yourself?

What are we doing? Maybe it's just something Human? For centuries people have been acting. Shakespeare couldn't have been more right to say that life is a stage.

I want to become a filmmaker. Partially to take people on a journey, but also to make them see things they need to see to get somewhere. I do NOT mean to deceive people or to take advantage. That would be the very last thing I'd want.

I feel like being stuck between two opposites - on the one hand I want to see the real stuff. But then again, when things get hard fantasy and fakeness offer me the escape I need.

I guess they both have their goods and bads...

see you guys later - love and peace,

Veronica
