Today’s Quote: Live in such a way that you would not be ashamed to sell your parrot to the town gossip. – Will Rogers
Today’s Narrative: We all know the metaphor of people wearing ‘masks’ to embellish particular aspects of themselves and deflect attention from others. There is the positive aspect of taking on a role and playing up the positive aspects of the mask you choose to wear in front of others. And there is a sense of security in having that mask nearby to shield yourself from the cruel world that would not understand the ‘real you’ if it were on display. It is more than okay to keep your mask on when you are forced to face a world that may be a little hostile, and you need an edge to survive. But there should be a safe space and comrades you trust where you are not forced to apply the mask.
Today’s Question: What don’t you want others to know about yourself?
