I was in bed just now thinking about my weekend and reflecting just a little at one in the morn. It came to my attention, quite blaringly, the huge role that unconsciously-reinforced deception plays in everyday life.
First of all I realized that, for most of us, to be ignorant of our own animality is a requirement for the normal continuation of our everyday lives. Many things are done in most cultures to prevent our animality from being easily seen. Clothes, makeup, glasses, haircuts, fixing crooked teeth, shaving, etc....
Then there are the tricks of love that involve an even more severe amount of deception/unconsciousness, including the same kinds mentioned above.
The list goes on and includes many things that I am probably participating in right at this moment without being aware of them (using English somewhat 'properly,' for example).
What would happen without the barriers that these deceptions provide? More reflection is needed.

by failing to be more specific in your ideas here, aren't you just prepetuating your own ideas about deception? what are you really trying to say here? where does fear of rejection play into the larger picture of deception? if one buys into darwin's survival of the fittest, are we just using deception as a tool in order to survive and/or succeed?
I would never tell the lie that my writings are not deceptive. Not only is writing in general a deceptive thing but I often neglect to mention here those things that I am most concerned with or most occupied by. But I want to write more about deception in the next few weeks, so I will try, at least, to be less deceptive about deception.
Super color scheme, I like it! Good job. Go on.
