Often we use different tactics to cover up our faults and failings. We twist words, design a behaviour, manipulate feelings to our advantage. Most often politicians and lawyers use language to manipulate meaning and convince their hearers into believing them, most often of things they know are not true!
Modern media and communication channels, far from merely portraying reality, are rampantly used to basically present a very biased picture of reality, convincingly. The camera lens and the newspaper ink are not really rear-view mirrors. Gleaning through these messages and information to sift and find out what actually is the case is not always easy.
However, every time one generates a subtle message, or acts in a particular manner for the public, those words or actions cannot be totally classified as concealing or hiding. They actually reveal what kind of person one is! If one is careful to see through, the words or actions, one will notice what's hidden and real and not be bluffed by what is projected or presented. In this process one gets a glimpse of not only the other person, but of oneself too!
