I don't know how to do it. Or rather, I don't like, or want, to do it, most of the time. It is too effort-intensive. It is a snivel. It is what people would screw up their noses at, behind your back.
Yet, at times, it is essential, if you are not to get into trouble with The Man. Or receive a black mark. It is a mode the more street-smart amongst us would get into when necessary.
I should really learn how to wield it properly so that, when the need calls for it, I am alert enough to use it for my own well-being/survival. But the inner struggle never quite goes away. Can one be wayang and yet not be fake/hypocritical?
