Troubled Waters

              
To be alone in one’s mind, reflecting upon our decisions and thoughts that are to ultimately be judged as right or wrong. We serve as arbiters of ethics in our solitude; it is at that time that a person can no longer hide behind the lies of omission that are necessity in public. Empowered to be released from the constraints of the façade, we search for the purity of life that all feel with. Through this process a supplementary relationship is born, between the façade and pure being, one unable to exist without the other. Purity of thought, clairvoyance of our true nature, can be captured while reflecting on the masquerade of social interaction we humans go through. Reflecting on our self is a natural behavior for all of us to exude, as is the discourse we feel through our dishonesty.
 If we use morality as the sharpening stone of our character then we see the façade slowly crumble away. We submerge ourselves again into public life, with-drawling to be alone and reflect. The more we work at this the clearer we can show our true-selves to others. Honest eyes developed through reflection can see through those of the reserved, we can help them as well as reach a more ideal self while doing so. It is at this point where the façade disappears and we introduce vulnerability into the seclusion our thoughts of purity have.
This is the testament between the relationship and final solution of who we are to the public eye and our own. Purity of a being can only exist when introduced into an environment that will test it. If found wanting, we are presented with two choices. Hide in our minds, diluting the functionality of true being, unable to call upon it when needed. The other is resolving to better ourselves, combining the morality of our inner-thoughts and the courage to be that person to others. Purity that demands exclusion isn’t true purity.
