I wondered if living in a phony world changes the way our brains and cellular structures operate. If we accept phoniness, will we do away with honesty and integrity all together? Will we make up new cells from day-to-day with no obligation to mop up the mess is the old cells have made? Most important of all is it possible to be real in a phony world?



As if I'd said the opposite, she said, "I don't worry about dying, you know. To tell the truth, I sort of look forward to it. Not the last- breath part, but the next breath in a new place. I imagine it's sort of like being born, don't you? I mean, coming into this world is no picnic for a baby, all that squeezing and pushing going on around it, but then it pops out in a whole new world.."
