unauthentic

There is never a need to push someone once said. This is fine unless someone needs pushing. The machine runs at different speeds. Not because it is designed that way but because the people who are involved sometimes get in the way of the whole machine itself. This occurs because people believe they have certain powers over other people; in their job this may be the case. However, what is important is empathy. There is no real power over anyone, but if it needs to be that way then the one who holds the stick better have empathy somewhere in that powerful frame or that power is of little value other than what it seems to be- unauthentic.

impressions

We all need to make impressions upon people especially if we are looking for certain kinds of mobility such as moving up in a job or having more free time with the little corn pickers. Impressions are what we do and it is through impressions that certain kinds of people learn the art of manipulation. Some call it "impression management" while other's would say it is nothing more than manipulation and augmentation of social situations to suit ones self interest. These people really do think they're smart. They may be smart, but in reality they are known for what they are first; before anything else that may be better but remains on page four of the newspaper that is who they are. Everyone reads that one and everyone is aware of the intentions they represent in their presentation of self. Page one gives off the impression that they are something special due to the complex language and smooth handwriting.
