It’s not a surprising thing to say that almost everyone on this earth has a mask on. People are walking around with masks covering their faces. And no, I am not talking about the COVID-19 face mask; the mask that I’m talking about is your true self. From birth, most people are taught by society to put on a mask of who they are and never to reveal their true identity. For some reason, people are meant to believe that once people discover who you truly are, they will no longer respect or like you.
And yes, in some instances, it’s true, but the reality is that those individuals never liked, nor respected you before showing them your true self. In other words, it’s not the fact that you displayed your original self that is the problem, the main issue started way before the display. It’s sad and disheartening to see that the few individuals that were brave enough to bring down their masks are being looked down upon by society as people who are suffering from an illness or unstable. A world with a mask on is far more dangerous than swimming in an ocean filled with sharks. Are you living with a mask on, or have you taken your mask off? These are the questions that I will leave you all with.
