Authenticity cannot be proven. If you try to do so, you are bound to fail. It is something that is lived in and that you don’t need to waver from or give answers for. People will recognize it when they see it, but it can’t be shown to them. You would not want it any other way. It is your core, and what comes from there cannot be stolen, changed, or manipulated. It just is. You can’t find something that has never been lost. So stop all the searching, all the plugging, all the manic half-truths, and hero worship. Peace will be the by-product.
