Masks we wear in our life

Masks we wear in our life.

Do we really wear masks in our everyday life? What are they? Is it a necessity or hypocrisy?
The majority of professions need you to be someone you are not, to behave as you don’t get used to(40 hours a week you can present a severe mask of police investigator while the rest time you are the funniest and the kindest person in the world). To be a parent also means to play a role: during the process of upbringing, while you feel boundless love to your children, you have to wear mask of a teacher to learn them how to behave, prohibit some things and even punish. Casual politeness and good manners make us wear the mask of friendliness to people especially older than we are or not very familiar. We hide our real emotions, foster some traits we hadn’t before, often we have the perfect image, idol( it can be a famous person)in our heads and try to correspond to it.
Often our appearance helps us to create an image and get the feel of our role faster: clothes, make up, hairstyle. 20 minutes before mirror in the morning and housewife miraculously changes into the strictest solicitor.
But sometimes people wear rather hypocritical masks when they for example pretend to be your friend just to find out some information or just because they see some benefit out of this friendship, etc.
Anyway the thing is not to lose your real face while wearing different masks and not to mix roles and situations, e.g. not to be a teacher at home or all-forgiving mother while managing the big factory. So whether you wear any mask or not - don’t overdo.
