I have always
been fascinated by masks. I have collected them since I was a boy. At one
time I had hundreds. Masks are something that I can hide behind. Masks make
me feel comfortable. I don't want people to see me. Different masks for
different occasions. I wear so many I sometimes forget what I really look
like. Actually, I'm not sure that I DO know what I look like anymore.
I think most people wear masks ... Masks that make you fearsome, Masks that make you seem trustworthy or sincere. If you don't think you wear masks then perhaps you are wearing a mask that hides you from THOSE masks ... the ones that you do not want to see or admit that you wear.
