Why is it that we think so highly of ourselves that we cannot accept others?  We are all without fault and no matter how religious or good you are you still have faults.  I have PLENTY!  The good thing about being fallable is that we don't have to act as though we are perfect.  How about some GRACE and ACCEPTANCE?  Instead of trying to put on a mask, try being who you are and accept others as they are.  Our differences are what make us unique, which is a good thing!  When God sculpted you He broke the mold for a reason.  Try to see others as they are and accept their good and not-so-good qualities.  If nothing else we will learn some character which will mold us into better people!?
