Real Recognize Real

 
"When we turn around & come face to face with our destiny, we discover that words (spoken) are not enough. I know so many people who are brilliant speakers but are quite incapable of practising what they preach. It's one thing to describe a situation & quite another to experience it. 
I realised a long time ago that a warrior in search of his dream must take his inspiration from what he actually does & not from what he imagines himself doing.”  
Paulo Coelho, Aleph
 
A good morning to you too. I've been really busy lately and  I'm learning how to manage my time wisely, so I'm writing this in a bus headed to work.
 
Everybody talks about being REAL. A brother calls another brother a REAL GUY, and they say 'real recognize real'. Allow me to share with you my philosophy of what REAL is.

Real has little to do with what you see or hear. The things we call real are mostly covered with a veneer of hyper-reality in which the appearance of objects are artificially intensified to make them appear more attractive. Most of us are attracted to objects of reality that are wrapped in pretty packages, smell nice, look nice, feel new and seem better than the real product hidden underneath. After a while we accept the facade as the real thing.
