The Masks We Wear

“All of us have a variety of masks that each of us wears

daily. These may be the identities that have been given to

us, or ones that we have assumed over time.

As long as we recognize that what we wear is a mask we all

are right. But when the mask becomes the seeming reality for

us, then our troubles begin. We confuse the mask with the

person, and if we are achieve enough actors, so do those

around us. Gradually the mask becomes a trap, and we

become the mask (as the performers did in the ancient Greek

plays who would utter their lines while holding a mask in front

of their faces).

The Masks We Wear

Not every use of a mask is negative, however. Masks can help

us build our own defenses for the time we need them. They

can give us power, or at least the illusion of power, in a

time when we may feel powerless. As long as the masks

remain flexible and breakable, we can alter them at will, still

realizing that we are not what we wear on our face as the

mask we present to others.
