Well, now that all of my non subscribed readers are gone (probably) I return! I return with an altogether "new" pessimistic point of view.
SO! My post today is about "masks." People hiding behind facades of fake emotions, hiding their problems, running away from potential happiness, wrapping themselves in their soft little cocoon of misery. Of course, I'm not exactly the best person to be talking about, me being the third most messed up on the list of "people who hide themselves" of the people I know, but someone has to do it, and it seems that I'm better than nothing. (according to the same 3...)
To start:
People instinctively want to feel safe. It's animal instinct. Our nature. A turtle hides in its shell, a hedgehog curls into a ball, a frog secretes poison. It's all just defensive. Reflexive.
We humans have no hard shells, we have no spines, we have no poisons. All we have is our minds. The very same place that is the problems origin. We build up walls harder than steel, lash out with words sharper than swords, and watch as our opinions and reactions corrodes everyone around us.
If you haven't noticed by now, this is a compilation of allot of the things I've posted so far. Think about it. Think about why we hide. Think about who is really in the wrong.
