Keep the act?

When a relationship turns sour, there seems to be no turning back except if you are family. Of course, even that does not prevent love and cameraderie from becoming hatred or indifference. Life goes on. Yup, its a scary world. Few absolutes but lotsa greys. So grey till you probably sometimes can't see where the truth lies. The rules keep changing. They call it, "moving with times." Once unacceptable yesterday is sought after today. So one wonder who's to determine the standards. At this, many just take things into their own hands. At least there is some element of control in the midst of uncertainty. So, one then questions, is this just a false sense of control? An attempt to make oneself feels safer. Who knows? The right and the wrong, the false and the true sometimes intertwine and one becomes another in the split of the second. Therefore, some resort to ignorance. Afterall, isn't ignorance = bliss? If you can keep the act (within) together, why not? If you can pretend that all is ok and live a blissful and uncomplicated life, why not? If you can be as adaptable as a chamelon, why not? Well, all things come with a cost. The cost of one's values, the cost of one's identity, the cost of one's true self and many others. I, for one, believes that the act will eventually fall apart.
