The Art of Faking

We, the humans, have a distinctive quality of faking. 

Every day we see different means of faking from our surroundings. Only a few, very few would strike our naked eyes, rest have become so common that we would ignore.
We can see multiple definitions for faking if we actually sit and google.

Nevertheless, faking may or may not happen for a reason. Faking at our friends, colleagues, teachers, cousins, and even at any stranger for that matter with incredible levels of perfection. How many of us know that more than 18% of white collar job people in the cities make "fake calls" every day during office hours just to waste time? They pretend to dial some random number and place their mobile phone over their ears as if they talk to someone! People in the offices especially having the laptop will always have multiple tabs open. Only one of it will be related to work and rest all will be their personal needs. Politicians give fake promises, footballers make fake moves which confuse opponents, movies give fake notions to the viewers, middle-class people would submit fake bills in order to get tax benefits, companies give advertisements with fake promises etc and even fake/hoax news on the internet, people use morphed images and forged signatures are all one or other ways of faking. What can be the benefits everyone is getting upon faking? Of course, the benefits are subjective and differ on a case by case basis. But the beneficiary is none other the person who fakes.

Why do people fake? it would be either to impress or to deceive in most cases. No point in blaming humans since even humans believed to learn the art of faking from their primate ancestors.

Animals do fake quite remarkably. Camouflage is the classic example of animals do fake. This would be either to escape from the predators or to catch its prey in the wildlife. But in either case, the cost of faking is their survival (including humans) !!! 

Survival is the key word not only to succeed but many a time to sustain and survive. And hence faking has its own depth, dimensions, and meanings in every single life of the mother nature. And hence, though the word "faking" seems to be sound negative, it actually has positive aspect as well.

Frankly, faking does require in the present world. It probably had designed and taught by mother nature to its fellow beings in order to survive.   

Whatever be it is, the levels of faking is reaching new standards in this part of 21st century. And this keeps growing into more advanced and sophisticated in the future as well !!
