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.
