Something you may have heard before is the phrase: “I don’t care about aesthetics.” This phrase is uttered by those who have deceived themselves. Everyone has an appetite for beauty. There is no depth in denying this fact. Self deception is inherently shallow. Truth is depth. You must dig down within yourself - into the dark, murky depths - to discover the truth. Denying these depths does not make one deep. To deny a truth one has to fabricate a more convenient truth that appeases their ego - most often based on the standards and moralities of the day. Think of this like a tarp with pretty little paintings of butterflies and candy-floss - oh, isn’t that pretty. This tarp is then draped over the inconvenient truth that lurks in the depths of the psyche. The person then turns their eye inward and sees this pretty little tarp that lays atop in the shallows and believes they have reached bottom.
