“You should never let your fears prevent you from doing what you know is right.” Aung San Suu Kyi
Surely Surely, to be authentic is to know our imperfections and to know that we are less than the sum of our public persona, that our pixels blur when no one is looking at us, but does that diminish us in any way, does that prevent us from speaking the truth to power in the public square? Surely the one who has lived their mistakes is the one with a voice to share? ©Paul Vincent Cannon

Perfectly presented Paul, none of us are perfect, but if we are all brave enough to speak up, maybe the witty city ones, might start to see their own imperfections….

The line that stands out to me is: ” our pixels blur when no one is looking at us”. It got me thinking that perhaps the reverse is true – I blur who I am amongst others. Another thought provoking poem Paul.

Great thought VJ, always we are not who we are, the constant real battle for authenticity and integrity.
