How many masks do you have?

The world is a stage, said the wise man. Since this is a stage, then everyone does not play themselves.

Try looking at people who are dating. They are not only fragrant but they are also much more polite. If they usually get up late, they will get up early in the morning so they can be together with their loves.

Just look at people who are legislative candidats. They who usually are indifferent with their invironment, will turn out to be very caring people. Often, the changes occur in just one night.

Other wise people say that if we want to know how someone’s nature, travel with them. If you want to see how the nature of people who are dating, look at the moment when they are no longer in love with their lovers. They will easily get angry and seek their lover’s fault. If you want to see how the original nature of the legislative candidate, look at the time when they are not selected. Will they remain concerned about the environment or vice versa? Ask donations they have given?

Over time people will unwittingly unmask themselves and show their original nature. “The Monster inside Me” will be revealed.

When we hang out, it would be very easy for us to see these masks people wear on their faces. Surprisingly, “the masked people” often do not realize that they are masking their true identity .

Unlike most people who wear invisible masks, V, in V for Vendetta, written by Alan Moore comic, wearing a Guy Fawkes mask (physical masks) to bring about a revolution while protecting his true identity.

So what's the difference between physical masks and invisible masks that are widely used by people around us?

Invisible mask that is used by most people, is used to save personal interests. Physical mask used by V not only worn for the sake of his safety, but also for the interests of many people. V tried to make people aware that they live in a deliberate injustice created by tyrants.

I remember the dialogue between Evey and V when Evey asks V’s actual identity.

Evey Hammond: " Who are you? "

V: " Who? Who is but the form following the function of what and what I am is a man ina mask "

Evey Hammond: " Well, I can see that."

V: " Of course you can. I'm not questioning your powers of observation I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. "

V covers his identity not for his personal gain!

Words are Witch’s Spells

Apparently, We do tend to be affected than affecting others. In the past, there was a much-loved soap opera. A beautiful girl in the soap opera liked sucking a lollipop. She looked very cool with her lollipop.

In the morning, when I went to school, I saw almost all of my female friends sucked the lollipop while walking to school!

Once, I read a magazine interviewed a member of a band. The musician said how the school changed completely when a new band became famous. When Duran Duran appeared, everyone changed their haircuts. When Guns N Roses appeared, all wore Axl Rose’s headbands!

The moral is people are more easily affected than affecting.

Unfortunately, few people are aware of whether they fit in with what they imitate. Sucking a lollipop does look cool for the actress. But will it also make us look cool? Sometimes not. Good for one is not necessarily good for us.

It would be more terrible if we imitate the villain in the film. Still remember with James Holmes? Students who killed a lot of people at Batman premiere?

Whether influenced by fictional character or a real person, I think it is much better when we are affected by the characters in the books we read. Can books affect us? Oh, of course. I have seen someone who is so obsessed with President Sukarno, just by reading his biography .

Baby Halder, the Indian woman who suffered injustice in the beginning of her life, becoming a good reader and writer after she read a lot of books. She was very fond of Rabindranath Tagore.  People around her talked about her when she started to read books. But she did not care and let the book shaped her. " Everytime I began to read, I found it a little difficult, but as I went on it Became Easier." Baby Halder said.

Will books also establish a person into a killer? Or will people learn to rob a bank from figures he read? I think not. A good reader will always take a distance with ideas he or she reads.  A good reader will merge good ideas into him/her and throw ideas that do not suit him/her automatically.
