A world that revolves around pretense

A certain person once told me "I don't think it is possible for you to hate anyone. Is there even one person you really, really, hate from the bottom of your heart?" I laugh smugly to myself now as I ask myself this question and find the answer. It took a long long time, but finally, the fact that I can pretend to the whole damn world, but I cannot pretend to myself, has sunk in.

There was a time when I did not know what the word "pretense" meant. But today, I guess I want to pretend I don't know what it means because this is a world that revolves around pretense.
