One day a student asked the Teacher:

- Teacher, I recently discussed the topic of sincerity and naturalness with friends, but as a result, everything was mixed up in my head.

The teacher smiled:

- And what is your question? What's mixed up with what in your head?

- The most important thing that I cannot understand is the difference between sincerity and naturalness. I think it's the same thing.

“This is not the same thing,” said the Teacher. - A sincere person may not be natural, but a natural person is always sincere.

- Sorry, Teacher, I still don’t understand.

- When you are sincere, you do not hide your feelings. When you are natural, you don’t think about them.
