You all must have seen the movie “Mask”. In that movie we see Jim Carrey wearing a mask. What happens after he wears it. He gets transformed into a different personality. He does things which he never did before. All that he could never think of doing.
There are few things which we want to do but we are afraid of the consequences. And we stab them and then they lie somewhere bottom of our heart.
In today’s world we all wear masks and live our lives. In true sense we are not living but just mirroring someone.
Sometimes we really need to act this way, but over a period of time it becomes a part and parcel of everyday.
Ever seen a bad person acting innocently with someone and get his things done, Swearing to someone, that I will never do such thing ever in my life again and then doing it the very next moment.
We all cheat. Some of them are: Smiling at a pathetic joke just to impress our boss. Accepting something in which you hold no interest, just because your parents say to do it.
I know the balance of our society will tumble because of our uncertain actions.
Rather than remaining passive as a solution to masking, one should let his real opinion come out. For how long will you dump your feelings. One day it will erupt like a volcano and you will have no control over it.
Many a times a long lived friendship breaks, just because the two realize each other truly after a long time. And then it hurts like anything.
Better let your true face be seen. It is always good to live guilt free than to sulk entire life for wrong decisions taken.
The reason I call this mask of hollow because here this mask has no base. It is just for the moment and of the moment.
I hope after reading this you will unearth your true self. Godspeed.

to come out in the open, to do what others say is taboo, to express ones truest desire, all this requires courage.. Courage is that one quality that gives us the strength to speak up and to stand up. it is not easy to be courageous. Fear, anxiety, apprehension, ego all are always present to pull us down to back us down.. we live in constant fear of the society. our ego which tells us that our image in the family and the society is of utmost importance. this fear lets this image consciousness take precedence over our hearts desire..
life is too short for regrets.. so one should never fear failure, ridicule and shame.. one must develop the courage to follow what his heart truly wants.. one must take the leap of faith, or become an old man filled with regrets waiting to die on his bed.. :)
