Why The Mask?

I posted the mask because I really think it's pretty. It also represents what we do in our lives. Sometimes we play at being other people all of our lives. There are personalities who seem to be really out there and themselves. If you know people long enough you can see the real person underneath the mask.
In order to survive to the 80's and beyond you sometimes have to be masked. Example: If you are hyperactive as a child you have to calm down in order for people to like you. If you are submissive then you have to learn to take chances and defend yourself. This applies to the work you choose to do in your life. You have to fit in to the category you have decided to be a part of in life.
Only you know and understand who you are and how you fit in this world. Lets hope it becomes easier to be real in your later years.
No matter who you are the world will see you as your mask. Not to mentioned the unrealistic view of young people who see old people without seeing themselves.
I like younger people and its a good thing they can't picture themselves getting older.
