Authenticity

Only the truth of who you are, if realized, will set you free--Eckhart Tolle

In the movie, Pig, Nicolas Cage’s character, a former chef, talks to a chef who once worked for him and now runs a very successful restaurant. I posted the clip below, and I won’t do it justice if I try to describe it. I will just say it is a plea for authenticity, and the sentiment struck me.

Really, what else could be the reason we’re here, if not to be true to ourselves?
