Monday’s Muse – Behind the Mask
We walk through this life behind masks of our making.
When we interact with others, we do not always allow them to see the effect their actions truly have on us. To do so would show our weakness. Or allow us to feel emotion we choose not to feel.
And to give in to that emotion would cause us to lose control. So we keep on going. Masks firmly in place.
Behind masks that protect us.
There are other less noble masks.
Masks behind which we hide.
Masks of thinly veiled hypocrisy. Masks constructed of the letter of the law, not the moral conduct those laws were intended to protect.
Masks which we weave ourselves to hide our greed and our vice.
What will you do behind your mask?
This was my Monday Muse, hosted by Cinnamon and Honey. Check her out for more Monday Muses.

About Me
A 30-ish mother of 3 and unintentional entrepreneur, I started my own IT Consultancy firm after layoffs at my old job. I balance the world of Corporate IT with my life as Manager of the education, health and well-being of my children.
Blogging from the Caribbean, I give tech advice to moms and write about raising 3 kids under 10, one of whom has been diagnosed with Aspergers.
You are right. We all have masks.
I saw this video before and posted about it some time back. She is unbelievable.
