The Velveteen Rabbit

Once you become real you cannot return to being unreal. It continues forever. We all occasionally act as though. We pretend to be more or different from who we are in order to build or maintain a certain image. Rather than genuinely leading intriguing lives we appear more interested in pretending to. Margery Williams understood the human condition so well one hundred years ago that her story The Velveteen Rabbit has gained increasing popularity with each succeeding generation. Maybe thats because our desire to become authentic has gotten stronger every year. You are simply too big for anyone or anything that keeps you from becoming genuine.
