If anyone is having a fair
knowledge of Dexter Morgan, knows very well that Dexter is Pretentious. Dexter
is typically capable of faking "normal" human emotion to a degree
that he is generally invisible and unremarkable antisocial personality. He
masks himself to protect the people around him, without letting them know. Same with
Superheroes like Batman. In our real life, we distance ourselves from reality
to feel good.
FYI, being good and
feeling good is entirely different things.
Pretence is only parameter which can distinguish them. Reality is
bitter so we find ourselves comfortable in our fictitious world, where we have
your full control. Our Mask. Our terms. This characteristic is born from your
experiences. The most common one is when we face rejection from our loved ones.
Made-up scenarios will fuck us every time we try to indulge in them but we are
so incapacitated that we do not think pragmatically. Pretence gives us a
temporary sense of happiness. Facebook is one such proof of pretentious life .
In our life, we stopped keeping
attachment with anything or anyone, because we know feeling hurts. They leave indelible
scars in our conscious, so we start being someone else. Just like in the movie
Fight Club, where Norton becomes Tyler Durden. Who is someone interesting, influential,
admirable, someone who you really want to be. In our daily life, we find
ourselves uncomfortable in various occasions like work place, GYM, room, etc so
we start living the pseudo life. Giving fake smiles to all of them, liking
their over-edited DPs in facebook, LOL on their stupid jokes. Believe me,
pretentious is best way of dealing with idiots, no hard feelings only
experiences. Suddenly, you start feeling that you are surrounded with Morons
and obviously you find best among those.
It’s a beautiful process; you mold yourselves as per the situations and people. It’s like this, when you become a
kid with kids, they start enjoying you. People never changes, they just show
their real self which is awful at times because it is inadvertent. A man does
anything for survival, so pretending someone he is NOT is not a big deal. As
Tyler Durden said, you’re not special, you cannot be perfect. We are nothing
but all singing-all dancing crap of the world.
I’m quite sure most people fake a lot in
everyday human contact. But at the end, they are left hallow from inside, empty
and unable to feel. Not even happiness. Just like Dexter Morgan. Finally it’s
you who have to decide, what’s good for you. Being Good or feeling Good?
