Please, if you can, watch Tokyo Ghoul. The experience is worth it.
It is quite sad to see people wearing masks. But too often, the intension is not to cheat or deceive. On the contrary, the need to feel loved drives us to present ourselves as flawless beings. Unfortunately, our cores aren’t error-free.
We talk about rights and wrongs. Good vs evil. Justice or equality. Too many big words without an outcome.
Pause.
Reflect.
Nothing is black and white. There is nothing absolute about this world. Nothing at all. You can’t see anything as a standard zero or one if you’d want to see things as they are. It’s all the greys. It’s always the greys. The outcasts, the misfits, the erroneous, the subtly feeble and quiet. It’s always the minority that matters for if they are wiped out, the fight for change, the hope for change dies with it.
We use masks to hide our faults. We hide behind pretense to appease the other person failing to realize that in our dishonesty we are creating a one-way road to destroying any hope of trust left in the other person, a person we claim to love, to trust, to fight for. Multiply that by a million and there you get the massive teenage world with broken hearts and an inability to trust without barely knowing the beauty of the world.
The mask is only beautiful if you want to save someone from their embarrassment. Embrace your flaws. Throw the mask away. Be human. Be you. Only then can the love that comes your way be genuine. For everyone can love a rose but the beauty lies in falling for the leaf. ♥
