Question: Why we should make sure to drop the mask we are wearing and let our original face become our only face!.!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Personally I don't want to be limited to only one face!. I slip on different masks(your word) for different situations!. A different mask with the people I work for than the mask I wear with those who work for me and another with love interests and yet another with my children!. I try to be sincere no matter which mask I wear and may be that is the key!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Wearing a mask make's you tired
Its like you can never relax, every moment you have to be on the go
you have to be the person people think you are which get's old with time
and dropping the mask feels like breathing for the first time
embrassing the true beauty of the world which you couldnt really see that good through the small hole's in the mask created for your eyes
and quit frankly
life is to ******* short to spend it on playing parts that dont even make you feel good in the end of the dayWww@QuestionHome@Com

If we wear the mask, what ever we see is the false and what ever other see in us is also a false!. If all does such, everythings and everybody will becomes false!. Whatever we do, will also becomes a false!. False is confusion, darkness, madness, noise, crowd etc!. Then we miss the life and beauty of it!.
That's why original face is the only real for life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes we do put up different faces to suit different situations!.!. social protocols are one thing!.!. it is not playing false strictly!.!. that is socialising!.!.

Can you show all your anxiety putting on a long face, while meeting a long awaited / or even a sudden guest at the door, for example!? You will put on a nice smile and say you are tooooo happy!.!. hiding the fears / tears about how the well deserved hospitality would cost you precious time to attend a damn important work!.!. or things like that!.!.

Can you show your agony of a nagging headache while the boss is unusually asking to stay on for some urgent work!.!. will you not show all enthusiasm to make the guy feel relieved!.!. and then run for some powerful drugs to withstand the strain!.!.!?

Can we be ourselves with even wife and children who may be eagerly waiting for some outing when we have the least energy left after a hectic day!.!. or suffering the agony of an undeserved harsh comment from the boss!.!. or things like that!.!.!?

At best we can show our worst feelings with strangers who would be of no consequence to us!.!. Or we can expose all our narrow ugly feelings about our competitors or adversaries with trusted friends!.!. and perhaps the most soft hearted ones, would submit the inner most feelings to the Lord in private!.!.

It is not easy to have our original face and spoil all the beauty and joy of the ambience!.!. perhaps we can show our real happiness (if it is not at the cost of some one around!.!. ) but not all the while!.!.

I strongly differ with those friends here who suggest that it is best to shed the masks (perhaps they mean by this the traits of boasting too much or much dishonest praise or sympathy!.!. etc) In the normall course we all have to be choosy in exposing our own true feelings, judgements etc about which I feel differently!.!. Yes I have to show sympathy to both my wife and the mother in a conflict whichever side may actually be at fault!.!. for I want both of them to be at peace with me!.!. and in the process I feel guilty for the inability to accuse the erring side with the contempt it deserved!.!. becos I have to think of the backlash thereof on the kids, myself and everyone!.!.! So with the office, neighbours!.!.!.

An average person can not afford to be him /herself most of the times!.!. The mask is a protection!.!.!. not sin!.!. it saves everyone that matters to us from damages arising out of the ego and hostility which a true face would surely provoke!.!. unless we live with saints of course!.!.!

Once Saint Ramakrishna strongly admonished a disciple for having got all beatings from some rogues in the neighbourhood!.!. Afte overhearing this his chief disciple Swami Vivekananda went to the place of incident and gave severe dressing to the culprits!.!. When the Guru came to know of this, he severly chided the senior disciple for being hostile to the rogues who had teased the saint of the mutt in the neighbourhood!.!. He asked "are you a saint, throw away your ochre robes if you wish to nurture hostility on anyone!.!." etc!. The message was to "show" some power but not cause any real injury to anyone!.!.

Thus even saints are asked to wear masks dear!.!.! we have to be ourselves in making some judgements and decisions but we have to present them in a way that the purpose is achieved best, that is the social norm in my view!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
