I think that its inevitable to be somewhat superficial in this real world.
I don't know much about that but I should really learn how to treat people sincerely.

We cannot be counterfeits for anything. Because what that is fake will prove itself to be sooner or later. The reason why some people give up half way may be due to their counterfeit towards a certain goal. People give up half way because they are sick and tired of pretending.

Counterfeits doesn't necessarily means money, goods or etc. It may also be the way you treat people. A typical counterfeit would be, backstabbing. Don't you find it contradicting to act as if you're in such good relations with somebody but you're cursing this person behind his/her back?

Counterfeits often fail people. No matter what form. Even grade A fake-goods. It is definitely nothing in comparison to the real one. Counterfeits fail your teacher when you claimed that you've studied but you didn't. Counterfeits fail your friend when you backstab them. Counterfeits fail your parents when you lie to them.

The impact varies. Because some counterfeits eventually pass the naked-human-eye undetected. Have you been to china? Some forged notes look so authentic that it is eventually taken for real. We are not capable of identifying them. We are nothing in comparison to detectors like ultra-violet rays.

If it was so, then God is definitely the ultra-violet ray. Simply because we human are not even capable of being genuine people. Even the most genuine person struggles with evil thoughts.

Do you know what I call genuine?

God's love that flows abundantly through all circumstance at all times with no conditions.
Do you know why love is not a counterfeit?

Because love never fails...
