It’s all about the struggles, the daily protocols, the joys when you see a few others smiling around you, the tears when you lose someone close to you, on failures and sometimes on your own disgust.
Each one of us has a face inside us, a face not visible to many, not even us at times, rather most of times we are nothing but MASKED from the own self !!
We love these masks with which we hide ourselves and the whole of our lives we decide to hold these masks on our faces coz somewhere down the lines we are afraid that those in love with us would leave us and go away. It’s like a struggle always with our selves where the whole of the lives we keep on pinching ourselves, we keep on looking up to someone else with an urge to be like that someone else. Things become difficult at times when we are not able to become like them, life goes in dismay and we hate ourselves for reasons known only to us.
There are many who come across try to rectify the problems and to satisfy them we tend to laugh get normal subsiding our fears and thoughts for those moments, but what happens on the later stages when these people are not around, we again succumb to the same problems with rather worsening them by not catering to them at the very first juncture itself. Stagnated things stink more. In the process those masks around us grow in number with each sorrow each joy the number of masks increase.
The new relationships we make, somewhere down in the brains we are taught that everything in life has a purpose each person whom we meet has a purpose to solve and he would use us in some way or other to get things done, to clear his path, each one trying to outsmart the other person without revealing the real self. Sometimes we realise what the other person is doing and feel helpless or we tend to retaliate in the process we again put up a mask, of hatred or of agony, but isn’t it possible to believe that The One up there has designed things to work in such an order that each one caters to something or other related to the other people around them. We do pray to him for many things but does he come down to do those things for us? It’s just that a few people who come and cross our ways in some ways or other and help us doing the things, can’t we believe that this whole universe is designed in this fashion where each one caters to the needs of the other person at times in self sacrificing ways, at times in ways in which we ourselves or they themselves don’t understand.
It’s just how the society of life is designed.
Why these masks? Why do we have to put up a show to prove what we are not? Why do we have to fake ourselves in front of everyone whom we look up to? Why do we have to be someone else?
Moreover why do we have to look up to others when we ourselves are made with same love as the others are made up of, it’s all about looking up to the self ! It’s all about believing the in self. Starting your own ventures and creating the adventure paths for the self, it might be possible that others too walk along these paths but the satisfaction of being on your own, in the self designed path shall subside that mask of being small in your own eyes.
If someone in the family has done well in studies the parents look up to him for guiding the siblings, and the sibling too looks up to the elder for guidance and in the process, what is forgotten is what the sibling wanted to do rather what the sibling was designed for, each one on this earth is born for a purpose for the agreement of understanding crossing, the routes of others while designing their own routes, it’s a mutual world with a mutual understanding.
Gautama Buddha was a prince, always had a mask on his face till he decided to remove it, and once he removed it, today we all address the man as mahatma Buddha, each one of us is not designed for being the Buddha but each one has the right to know the self, the right which we ourselves have taken away from the self!!!!
