This document discusses the masks that people wear and the dangers of confusing one's mask with their true identity. It begins by explaining that we all wear various masks in our daily lives based on our identities and roles we have assumed over time. As long as we recognize these as masks, it is not a problem. However, troubles arise when the mask becomes our perceived reality and we confuse it with who we truly are. It goes on to say that masks can serve purposes like building defenses or giving an illusion of power when feeling powerless. But they remain flexible so we can change them and realize we are not defined by the mask. The key is to not lose sight of the distinction between our masks and our true

“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).

3. 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.
