the Masks we wear




I thought i was the only one with a mask, but it wasn't until i drop my own that i realized that everybody wears them... i don't think it is intentional, it's a natural thing, the human machine adapts itself to it's surroundings which include other machines like it. This is a natural thing because the human computer it programmed for it... (I think i know a little about this, let's see...) masks are somewhat like interfaces... they only show what other people need to know about you... i think they are automatically created as you get to know other people better and know what you can and cannot expose... it's quite an interesting mechanism... it's interesting to try to notice how one person acts diferently arround different people... it's even more interesting if you try to notice this in yourslef... maybe you cannot... maybe you don't want to... but you most surely do it

it's not my fault...

I find it interesting too. How people change near different people.
But dont forget there are many kinds of masks people wear. Perhaps different masks for different people/situations.

But whats most important, imo, is whom you dont wear a mask next to. Who do you show your real you, your real face to.

As usual, love your posts :)
