Authenticity

[Shero]

Very simple for me, being authentic is to be not afraid to be true to who I am.
Not afraid to show my personality, the values and principles I live by regardless of what others think.

Plastic is viewed as a substitute for the real item, unless of course you're referring to a real plastic item to begin with. In the 1970s I along with countless seekers journeyed to find inner peace and reconciliation for the emptiness that was thought missing in our lives. Hence the mystery of enlightenment and finding one's true self would authenticate (grant permission) for present and future behavior.

The truth is everyone is authentic, even liars and crooks. for they are authentic liars and crooks. Authenticity is nothing more than gimmick to reframe product appeal for sales and advertisement.
