How many people are actually transparent? transparent in a sense that these people are what they are.. their behaviour is truly a reflection of themselves, and therefore it is parallel to their character and their emotions.. however, these people are an endangering breed.. its kinda rare to find someone who is so pure and transparent..
Because of the increased emphasis placed on one's image in public, most people around us put on masks--they're not who they actually are.. they put much effort into maintaining and improving their public persona, that they neglect to develop their own character.. these people, are know to some, as "fake" persons.. is caring about how people view you so important? Is appearance more important than reality? Is maintaining one's image so important that one hides his/her emotions when faced with different situations; alters his/her reactions to please people? these people would not want to taint the good image of themselves they've built arduously.. these people aren't sincere, totally not genuine.. they are not speaking from their hearts, but rather what they say has been changed and filtered so that it'll be in line with their appearance.. their aim is to please, placate, not speak their minds.. they want to portray themselves as good, sincere (ironic), humorous and caring people.. but just how much of this is actually real? Haha.. maybe its natural to put on masks.. but wouldn't these people that are engrossed with maintaining their persona feel tired of it all? Tired of putting up a false front.. tired of being not who they are.. why can't people be more like themselves? Is it so difficult? Is it impossible? Dunno.. just can't stand people who are so fake.. but who am i to judge people, anyway? :-)
