Increasingly, it feels like an impossible task. I am unsure if it ties into my larger disillusionment with living in the US, but I find myself in situations where I think it would not only be easy to lie, or to be fake, but it would also be advantageous—borderline essential given my line of work (sales) being so outcome dependant. 

I am struggling with this feeling that to be good is to be naive. This isn't how the world works.
