Some people say that an uncomfortable truth is better than a comfortable lie. People do not want to live a life that is false‚ phony or somehow an illusion. This concept is explored in Peter Weir’s 1998 film The Truman Show and Arthur Miller’s classic play Death of a Salesman.

A quick wash and brush up‚ maybe a shave (according to personal and religious preferences) and that is it.
