It is said that we adorned, decorate, color, perfume, ink, and mutilate our bodies in accordance to our needs and wishes for attention, justification, and to showcase our need to the world what our life has been like in the past, as well as the present.  What we have done in this life, and what has been done to us. 

Most of us like to show off and talk about our successes, as well as our scars. The question to ask is this, what do you see when you look into the mirror? And what would someone else see?  The beauty or the ugliness of your delusion.  All secrets and scars are ultimately revealed if you just look at the canvass someone is willing to show you.

Is it possible to pity the scars, but not the person, To enjoy the laugh and not have it bring a smile to our own lips?  Are you more driven by impulse for the things you want, or the things that have been done to you.  A measure of our successes, secrets, and scars are always available in the clothes we wear, the skin we show, and choices we make.  There is no lie that can be told, no delusion to behold, with you and your life, when all someone else has to do is look at your skin and the story of your life is there before us.

"Who could not say, 'Tis pity she's a whore?" - A Cardinal/Tis pity she’s a whore – John Ford

"Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded time. And all our yesterdays hae lighted fools to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. 'Tis a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."  - Macbeth – William Shakespeare.

"Is evil something you are? Or is it something you do? My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone In fact I want my pain to be inflicted on other. I want no one to escape. But even after admitting this -- and I have, countless times, in just about every act I've committed -- and coming face-to-face with these truths, there is no catharsis. i gain no deeper knowledge about myself, no new understanding can be extracted from my telling. There has ben no reason for me to tell you any of this. This confession has meant nothing..." – Patrick Bateman/American Psycho - Bret Easton Ellis
