People have this tendency to run away from lifes realities. We tend to escape our fate or sometimes hide from what is in front of us. We try so hard to wear masks and project to people false truths. Maybe not really show something we are not but maybe hide a part of us that we are not ready to show to people or hide something we are not ready to share. That is why we tend to become clowns in our serious world.
I know a lot of people who tries so hard to project a jolly and gay image to other people. They are those people who crack jokes or keep us in a constant mood of happiness. I am not saying this in general but maybe some. Some say that these people are really the ones who are hiding the true sadness in their eyes. Behind their make-up and never ending smile lies a weeping person waiting to be heard. The problem is they are the ones hiding it.
In some instances I am guilty of such clown image. I guess all of us. Maybe its because we choose not to dwell on the bad things but rather concentrate on the lighter things in life. Its not because we put aside our problems totally but its more of putting it aside in the meantime.
Are you one of those people? If yes then don’t worry because you are not alone. For sure almost everybody who will read this or has read this is guilty of projecting a false image even for just once in their lives.
I remember coming across this story about a clown juggler who entertains people in a small perya. People in the small baranggay where he is working at watches him with awe and delight as he gives so laughter and joy to all people. He shows how fun he is and how much humor he has. But it turns out as this clown removes his make-up and goes home to change his funny clothes, his life is a complete drama. He works hard for a sick mother and his 5 malnourished children and tries to keep them in school. His life is a soap opera in reality.
It is so ironic how a person in such a profession has a dramatic life. If you think about it, it is so hard to have his job of keeping people in joy and giving laughter to people while having a dreadful life. Well I guess that another reality of life, that most people wear masks to be able to live life normally or to at least be happy even for just a few moments in a day.
Why are we afraid to show who we truly are or to show others what we truly feel or what we are experiencing? We have our own reason. Whatever our reasons are time will only tell when we are ready to remove our masks.
