Truth and fiction
I finally found my fictional equivalent. Jean Valjean is someone I can identify with completely. I can identify with someone whose primary virtue is his conscience that compels him along the path of the truth and the right. I can identify with someone who has personal ambitions but also dedicates his life to his loved ones. I can identify with someone who lives a lie so he can be true to himself.
I am now anonymous and yet have completely revealed myself. I am Jean Valjean.

Yepp. Just like you.
Can't believe you read Les Miserables. My current reading is largely made up of the odd Asterix.

Or Francisco D'Anconia, if you live a lie to be true to yourself.
Hi! It's nadine.
Yea, memory and truth-telling is very much part of our identity.
People categorically dismiss lying as something negative. But then following Kundera and another author, remembering and forgetting is precisely the tangle of memory.
Anyhow, I dont think that actually made sense haha..wrote something along that line though: check august2005
end note: keep writing :D
God bless :)
Being is always simultaneously hidden and revealed
