sometimes what we wish for
is beyond our reach..
thats why they are called wishes...
but i believe that
life is full of hopes
i have to hold on to them
so that i can move on
the road ahead is a long one

have faith, you.

masks and pretences

Friday, January 05, 2007

so i was saying about pretence.. hhmmm... we present a different kind of image to different people whom we meet.. and this image that we present will of course produce different opinions to them. sometimes what we present is actually not the real us.. so i was wondering when someone shows a certain image, is it the true reflection of the person? lets say this person shows an image of wealth. that he comes from a well to do family. and having project that image, the people around him will thus form the opinion that he is wealthy.. but what if he is actually not wealthy? what if he was just presenting that wealthy image? and wouldnt it be hard for him to carry on presenting that image? in other words to keep on pretending that he is wealthy when he is not. its the same with someone who presents a happy go lucky exterior. he is alwasy laughing and goofing around..so much so that the people around him thinks that he has no problems and leading a happy life. it does not mean that he has no problems. or that he is leading a happy life. maybe he is just hiding his troubles. he doesnt want people to know the real 'him'. my literature teacher once said that we all wear masks. different masks for different situations. i think it is so true. if so, when do we not wear the mask? with whom do we really let our guard down? i was just wondering why we try so hard to keep up the pretence? maybe it isnt so much abot pretence. maybe it really is the truth.. but i guess whatever it is, we, humans are such complex characters. we never know the real thing. there's also that quote.. something along the line of.. our lives are like plays. we are actors in our own play... a play of masks and pretences, emotions and feelings. hhmm..what mask are you wearing now?
