What Mask Should I Wear Today?
“The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. ...You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask.”
- Jim Morrison
What kind of mask do we wear? Our mask changes to meet the demands of the environment. In other words, our mask or false self depends on our external world whereas our real self relies on our internal world. Our mask reacts to the demands of our environment and our true self responds to our needs and desires. We may push ourselves to be perfect in how we look and/or how we act.
