“What is the outward man? –  It is the facade or “image” with which I appear before the world and society, Here, of course, if we show ourselves to others, it is with our most attractive side, Even without inward harmony, the outward man can seem very well brought up… Just take away the “world” before which one finds it necessary to show off., and there is revealed the inward content of a man’s heart, which does not at all correspond to his attractive outward image, This can be seen best of all at home with one’s family, where a man feel himself no longer obliged to restrain his passions…”
(Fr. Valery Lukianov, Orthodox Word Issue 11)
