Alot of things cannot be seen from the surface.
Smiles on the surface, friction beneath.
which means, alot of things are not as true as it seems.
be it roommates, neighbours and friends.
Just through these few months here, I've encounter all these and came to understand this.
But,
the Japanese is another case.
'Tatemae' 建前 aka facade. It is part of their culture, their lifestyle. One is bound by culture to show a fake front to others. Politeness is one thing, but fakeness is another subject altogether.
which brings me to the next term,
'Honne' 本音 aka true self. One is taught from young not to show his/her true self, and most importantly, not to be direct. To be direct is to be out of the group. and to be out of the group, you will be ostracised.
Bottomline, Japanese are fake.
