(unless you happen to have designed a perfect lie-detector test and plan on using to to ask people about their inner thoughts)

Someone mentioned..they're werent enough.."true" people in this world..and if the theory has been proven we all act...then there must be an element of facade to us all.

Is it even realistic to compare different quantities? Actions and feelings are not the same quantity.

If you have lied about it at one point then you may be "being fake", but that's different to you actually being a "fake" person overall. In your example you don't define whether it happened once or every time anybody asks you and the two situations are completely different.

You feel love..you show it..action..

You feel sad..you show it..you cry..action...

Can you act mad without feeling it?

But the ways in which such emotions are displayed depend entirely on the individual, their culture, their upbringing. Even if you assume that two people will feel 'love' in the same way, one may respond by smiling gently, one may respond by hugging and kissing, one may respond by singing. And the same actions may be completely unrelated to feeling love without being a cynical way of fooling other people.

NaNaNer, basic feeling caused by action? I don't understand!
