Franz, on the other hand, was certain that the division of life into private and public spheres is the source of all lies: a person is one thing in private and something quite different in public. For Franz, living in truth meant breaking down the barriers between the private and the public. He was fond of quoting André Breton on the desirability of living "in a glass house" into which everyone can look and there are no secrets.
Franz believes that the separation of private and public life leads to dishonesty, as individuals often present different personas in these spheres. He thinks that true authenticity comes from eliminating these divisions, advocating for a life where one's private self aligns with their public persona. This perspective promotes transparency and honesty.
He often references André Breton's idea of living "in a glass house," where transparency is paramount and secrets are nonexistent. For Franz, embracing this radical openness is essential for genuine living, uniting the often disjointed aspects of human identity.
