we are always trying to hide behind masks.. looking good.. keeping fronts.. and it just grows more and more with age.. the number of 'masks' we need to cling to.. masks that we do not need as children.. till told to be 'this way or that'.. masks that make 'islands' of us.. the space shrinking more and more and more.. strangulating.. till sometimes we need one for the 'inner' self too.. as an escape bubble.. in order to survive.. our whole life passes worrying about 'people' and what they think.. the same 'people' who worry about the same things.. and slot us in the same 'group'.. till we get old.. the age of 'dependence'.. and we realize it doesn't really matter.. and our kids admonish us to be.. 'this way or that'..
