Contributed by Mark Eberly on Oct 6, 2009 (message contributor)
That no one except God is perfect but we don’t want people to think we are “that bad.”
We pose. We pretend. We put on our plastic masks. We go to “church.”
I saw a commercial recently about a new type of veneer for your teeth that is supposed to be the best yet. What I thought was incredibly outrageous was the claim by one woman (an actress—I’m sure) that this product “changed her life.” I know how improving our appearance can actually improve out self-perception and instill confidence. But that seemed a little over the top.
