Do you see "professionalism" as being fake? Do you think people call being fake, professional as a cope?

When I tell someone my opinions on this, it always turns into an argument.

There is the old Shakespear quote about how the world is a stage and how we all play different roles and parts throughout our time here. Just because I don the role of a service professional does not make me false or fake. It is simply my genuine self while in that role, regardless of how well it matches my ordinary self.

So I do not view it as fake. I understand and perfectly agree if your view is that most professionals exchange platitudes due to professional demand rather than true desire to do so. But a lie to me only truly counts as a lie if someone is deceiving another. If I know the spirit in which things are said is one of professionalism that understanding removes any fake elements to me.

I appreciate your response truly, I suppose the only gripe I have with professionalism is when it starts to become disingenuous.

Could be as what sam play in a song of Ice and Fire. Monk dont believe him because they read too many books in church.

Huh?

It was mistake that Europe would commit so it play it.
Some of people get degree just because to get high social position instead of get true knowledge.

No, it's just them trying to act like they got some sense and can do a job to me.

[ErickIsGoofy]

Interesting take. While I think that is true, there's more to it than that.

No, I don't see it as being fake.
