Simple Thoughts.... Complex Thinking..... In Search For An Answer

I believe we all put on different masks in different situations... we need it to fit in.. to adapt to the situation... to meet other's expectations... to be the person we are not normally are...
"Masked in Reflection" - A fencer looking into his reflection...
There are good masks which helps us to push ourselves for improvement when we force ourselves to be confident, to speak up, to be the best when most of the time deep inside we do not think so.. That type of mask is the best...
Yet there are also masks that we used just to have a sense of belonging as they are used to hide our insecurities.. to protray a image consistent with those around us.. to follow blindly, not knowing when to take it off... this types is dangerous as we will lose our self identity. ...
I, myself carry many different masks... some more important than others.. some are transparent but serve as a guide as not to overdo things which are of my character but yet offending to others. How ur mask serve u depends on how u use it... U are its master afterall.. but when the masks takes over and makes you some1 you are not what do you do then? It is a very fine line.. where do u draw that line? So u even know where is that line...
Are u who u really are? Wat u wanna be?... Sometime i wish i can be more of myself but it's not always about you... the world doesn't revolve around you.. it is much more than that.. I have recently meet some pple like that.. who always talk about themselves, who are selfish and in their own world of their own.. You are only a convenience.. only important when they think you are important.. they won't even make any effort to take a interest in your life.. or make an effort at making the friendship work out just because they preceive their needs are more important then yours... never asking you how you are doing.. or even listening to what you have to say.. ...
Hav you meet pple like that? I'm disappointed, sad, offended, couldn't care less about them... because they obviously don't need your concern.. they are thinking abt themselves 24-7 alrdy... some of them don't even realized it.. yet you can't tell them straight in their face. These pple are the ones who need a mask... a mask to be not so much of themselves because it is overwhelming for others.. a mask to hide their self-centredness.. to put on one that cares for others as well.. to realize the world is bigger than themselves. Only then they can truly be themselves...
This somersault of thots tonite have put forth a true reflection on the truth behind each masks.. behind what goes on behind the mask... Just like fencing, you put on a mask for a fight, you are transformed into another person... to become a fencer and fight for the victory.. to fight for your right to win..

The mask takes on different meaning to all of us.. to me it is not so much as to cover who we really are but that we have multifaceted personalities that thrive in our one individual person. We use our masks to bring out the different person in each situation and at different moods. So what mask do you have on today? Be sure to choose the right one.. because it can make a difference in your life...
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth. - Oscar Wilde
