I happened to drop by my friend's blog and saw the entry tittled mask. He was commenting on the facade which people put on just to hide or for protection and that 'no one knows the...real thing except you and yourself...'. However, I don't really agree on it. Sometimes, one may not even know what is the real thing when one wears the mask for a very long time. One may have put on the mask just for protection against potential threats but as time goes by, one's real face is easily forgotten as more and more comments were made on his/her mask. One may end up believing that that mask is really one's face. The line between reality and facade just simply blurred. That's when you get identity crisis. Scary, isn't it? Just because you want to protect yourself or to hide, you get yourself into a big mess which you might not be able to climb out.
On another note, it reminded me of a poem I had written two years ago when I first stepped into an unfamiliar school, into a very different environment.
New
New faces
New places
New routines
But where is the old?
Old masks starting to fade
Leaving an inept baby
Fending for itself
With mixed colours of blue, grey and green.
New, soft mask
Crept slowly onto
old, hard crisps of the
old mask.
Once again cutting off
From the world.

lol,I agree ur view to a certain extent.However,I feel that one should understand her REAL self first before wearing the mask in order to protect herself...self-understanding is a way out of one's real identity crisis.
P.s:we can always have certain people to trust in this world...after all,you still have your family.it is a matter of how to trust and the level of trust.
sunlightbabe=P.
However, if one happen to be in a dyfunction family whereby one have to be on guard against even them, being hypocrites, how much can one trust? How can one not be disillustioned?
erm, don't misunderstand me I am talking about in general. Nowadays, there are more and more dysfuctionate families, dysfuction in many ways, not necessarily in the way mentioned above.
Hmm...you sound sensible...but remember the word,"faith".
If you have the ability of knowing whether that person is a true friend or not,then I think you have the ability to differeniate who is sincere to you and who is not.
在这个世界上，一个人有几个真心朋友就已经是一种福气了。
朋友贵在真诚不在多和少。
Learning how to trust people is a knowledge.lol.
Sorry for the late comment, juz finished the As. But sometimes, the phrase,there is no eternal friend nor eternal enemy still stands. 人心易变，所以有时人心难测。True, learning how to trust people is a good thing but that also includes the willingness and the expectation to be 'slapped in the face'.Actually, this learning how to trust people thing is actually an ideal thing. It's good if you are able to do that.
LOL!I agree...like how "Ice Man" did to me.Haiz,long story lah...anyway,I think you also sick of hearing them le...Speaking frankly,I was quite thoughtful and emotional recently,so if I got any peoms and writings to share,I will inform you.
