"Everyone has a mask. If we don't have mask on, we won't be able to face others."
I think that saying was from the motion picture "V for Vendetta" if I'm not mistaken. That saying keeps me pondering for quite some time.
Do you think that the saying is right? For me, I think that it is true in some sense. All of us may have some ugly side that we don't want other people to know about. Maybe we have some bad habits that we want to change, and maybe there are some things not as bad but need to be concealed to others.
So, another question here is does wearing masks make us hypocrites? The answer may not be simple. Whether or not we become hypocrites by wearing masks actually depends on the reason and intention behind it.
If there's no mask, people will become disinhibited and act on urge. The world will become chaotic if that happens.
That is my lowly opinion and everyone can disagree with me. I welcome any comment on this matter.

i guess everyone wears masks because everyone has secrets.
its a defense mechanism, to protect themselves from others who they are not very familiar or comfortable with. because u don't really know what others might do with certain information about u that u may consider private.
only around family and close friends do people put their guard down and be themselves. that's because u trust them enough to have ur best interests at heart.
i think its just human fitrah.
Thanx 4 ur comment and I agree with u. Without masks, many people will be hurted
hey jepe, i like the movie! alot and it was so cool that in the end he didnt take his mask off and kept everyone wondering (unlike star wars, darth vader took his mask off)
anyway, i think sometimes ppl dont even realize they wear masks. they act a certain with different groups of ppl. so thats not really being a hypocrite, unless ppl wear masks to purposely deceive others that is
hypocrite is from the word originally meaning actor
Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.
