The Peppy Waiter
Okay, now most days I am not that happy. I’m usually
sleep-deprived, hungry, thirsty, and/or just not in a good mood. And those
words basically describe every college student. We’re worn out. However,
whenever I go to the counter to order my grande white chocolate mocha at
Starbucks, I plaster a huge smile on my face and pretend that I’m a morning
person. Am I acting in bad faith just like the way-too-happy waiter? I believe
that I am. I make myself seem happier than I am without even realizing it.
(Except for now of course.) This shows me that I’ve been basically trained into
lying to myself and others about being happy and smiley.
The Passive Woman
The passive woman is a hard one. All of us would like to say
that we would let someone know that we’re not interested in him. However, this
passiveness can be expressed in different forms. We put up with a lot of
different people a day – like professors, classmates, and others. People can do
pretty annoying things, so therefore, we probably let a lot of things go that
we probably shouldn’t.
The Pressuring Man
I don’t know about you, but when I was little and found out
a secret about my friend, I would pressure said friend into telling everyone.
That’s what kids do. We can’t keep secrets. So I have a little of that
pressuring man inside of me, and most of us probably do.I just think it’s kind of weird how we all somehow act a little in bad faith daily.
I agree that we all do act in bad faith and we all have done it. Sometimes, we shield ourselves from the truth because we find it to be easier to deal without it. Some of us don't know how to handle the truth, so we put it off and shield ourselves from it. We may not act like them every single day, but we have acted this way a few times in our lives.
