Real vs. Fake?

Seth's got a great rif on the authentic vs. the contrived on his blog today. It's not easy getting to real sometimes and it can take time. But if the authentic is priority, then getting there is way more likely. And who wouldn't prefer a bit of the real thing? It's like balm on a over glossy environment. Getting down to what is underneath layers of crap and figuring what really matters, that is a process. Focusing on that process also removes you from the victim status which is so enervating. I know what I like and what I want. It's like the difference between the French pavilion at Disneyland and Paris. No contest.
