The Velveteen Rabbit is a children's story about a stuffed toy rabbit who learns what it means to be real and the value of friendship, love, acceptance and honesty.
If you aren't being real, you aren't alone. Just look around. The world would not be in the state it is in if people were keeping it real.
Do you know what the word "real" means? It's okay to admit that you think you might know but aren't really sure. You can be "real" and admit that you don't know.
Real means true, genuine, not counterfeit or imitation, authentic and sincere.
Real means to tell the truth.
There is value in being real. There is value in being truthful. There is value to being genuine and sincere.
It's important to be real, truthful, genuine and sincere to everyone you encounter. So it's good to say "don't lie". However, I think it would be extremely difficult for someone to be truthful to people when they aren't even truthful to themselves.
If the first thing you learned as a child was the importance of being honest with yourself then I actually don't think you would have a hard time being honest with other people in the world. In facts, I bet it would come naturally to you.
So if I were God one of the commandments would be - Thou Shalt Know the Value of Being Real
With Love & Light ~
