THE MASK WE WEAR TO HIDE THE FACES

Does it mean looking good, dressing up well, decked up nicely  always show you are happy, you have no problems and everything is perfect in your life?

No, it’s just wearing a mask on the face which tells the truth about you.!!!!!

The question pops up immediately here is why do we need a mask? We need a mask because in one single day we play 10 different roles and every time, every place, everything cannot go right. Just to make sure that the failure of role played at one end doesn't affect the performance of role play at other end makes it necessary to wear a mask.  Per-say you cannot goof up in a business deal just because you had a fight with spouse in the morning. You can’t spoil your anniversary dinner because your had an argument with your manager.

Many times it is there to create a perception among masses about you, to be socially acceptable many times it is to show off .And also many times it is to console self, yeah it’s a way of saying “All izz Well” At times this mask hides the loneliness, get rid of insecurity, at times it makes you look strong, at times “wanted” at times popular and at times save face

The next thing bothering you by now is it good to wear a mask? Answer is yes-no. If the mask is for your own survival, if it resolves your inner conflict, it helps you to sail through a tough phase then probably it’s a Yes, if it’s about being opportunist, fooling others, or using them then may be a NO.

People feel expressing ones emotion is the very tough but it’s the half truth, the real difficult thing is to hide the emotions, absorb them, stay calm and still stay focused. It takes lot of time and courage to learn the art of hiding emotions, and this art in itself is equivalent to wearing mask. Wearing a mask to hide emotions is many times is just a way of saying “I Love you so much that I let the things comes to me the way they are sieve them and I will give you the desired once, absorbing the left over’s.; As I know the things which makes me sad, vulnerable, unhappy will impact you too and I can’t see my love to be sad.”

So next time you see a smiling face, a dressed up girl, a friendly man, a face book album with 100 pictures just remember the song, “tum itna jo muskura rahe ho kya gum jisko chupa rahe ho”. Life is not perfect for anyone; everyone has their share of problems. Something which is not relevant to you can be a big problem for others and the things bothering you day and night may hold no significance in other person’s life.
