Masks, Dramas, Human Feelings

Here's a comment written to my pet brother's blog. Please visit here to see the original post.

Dear didi, Everyone has their own secrets which they do not want to reveal to everyone in the world. Its like playing a card game, where you do not reveal all your card/show hand at once u duel with your opponent. I have some so-called dark side I haven't told you, which I would like to share with you soon, when time comes. As you see in some movies, people hid their feelings under a happy face, because some of them are really desperately needed to be hidden. For example, what will you do if you found out that your best friends is not like what you see them, and is totally 180 degrees different when you are not with them? "Life is but a masquerade, One which we are forced to play, We don our mask and play our parts, Unable to say what's in our hearts. The stage is set as the curtain rises, And so begins another day, The people come onstage with perfect faces, Though tormented by the parts they play. So many things still unsaid, Silet in these sufferings, Yet this part has to be played, Forever bound by puppet strings Traped in a mental cage, In this silence suffocating, Crying behind the stage, Behind this mask slowly dying. Bound by chains unseen, Kept in invisible captivity, Waiting for the changing of scenes, Waiting to be free..." I got this poem from a friend, he wrote it when he was feeling sad. Althought I don't really understands what he would like to portray, the basic meaning is there. Life is like a stage drama. I have some suggestion on what you should do. First, you should no be stressed out by this so-called problems. It's happenning every second. Even you have something you do not want to tell other people right? Secondly, if you really want to help them to have the feeling of the happy colour without the mask, you really need to get close to him or her, even if you do, he/she might not have tell you everything. Convince him/her that you'll understand and really help them to try solve the problems. Finally, really give true smiles to everyone and hugs to those whom you care. Althought it might not be significant, at least it will somehow make their day.

Remember, do smile always, make someone's day better, you will feel better. ^.^
