Masks...

There are masks all over the world -throughout all cultures. But, not only does the mask exist in cultures; also, in ourselves. Every person has different masks for different situations: for parties, within friends, for parents, for the elderly, for politicians, etc... Where do these masks come from? It is something that it is developed through your life cycle. As you grow and learn and are indoctrinated, it is developed and it shrouds the original -you. These are the consequences of integration into society. The only time that you are the most innocent and the most true is during your childhood. Of course, there are exceptions in society. There are those who have kept their innocence, but they are found as queer and unable to take part in society. Their uncorrupted innocence -overstating- and their intolerable honesty is the cause of their rejection -an admirable attribute which cannot be gained through normal means.

I, too, have masks, but I consider them more manifestations than masks. They were born with the rejection of society. The first is a manifestation of my positive desires, normally manifesting in the form of an action -appropriate to the time. It is a she. The second is a manifestation of what is not known to me. It has no form nor colour; it only has a voice and a ear to listen. The last is the manifestation of my inspirations and my aspirations; a person who can achieve what is required without hesitation. He can pull the trigger when its needed and can lend a hand while everyone throws stones at him. I am not mad, but have done the required to survive without society.
