We all carry many masks on our soujourn in life. This is apart from the roles we play.
Starting from our days when we start seeing ourselves apart from
the surrounding world we start wearing masks. The masks could be of various variety.
And these masks are the visage we present to the society and most of the time we are identified by the masks we wear. Some times we may wear different masks in the same role we play as a son, father friend lover etc. These masks are worn to cover our real visage we try to hide from the intended target.
The main ingredient for this mask is the value we create for ourselves and would like the world to
identify us with those values. the danger is that we lose ourselves in this fantasy and start identifying our real self with this mask. When it creates a conflict with our real self we start suffering, trying to keep up the slipping mask!
Most of the time it is a great labour to hold the slipping mask in place. It will be prudent
to put on the thinking gear and identify the mask we are wearing and try to sync with our real self. Awarenes oy our real self will help in this difficult task.
