The only people who need to worry about being cool are the ones who aren't. Putting on a show to impress people doesn't make you awesome, it's makes you pathetic. If you're not already impressive and awesome, get to work and become impressive and awesome. Pretending is just silly.

In Athenagoras, whose very name is a retrospect, we discover a remote result of St. Paul’s speech on Mars Hill. The apostle had cast his bread upon the waters of Ilissus and Cephisus to find it after many days.
