On a last minute attempt to improve my english writing through the simple process of blogging.
I'm thinking of changing my blogskin with one for titles.
Tempted to change to the blogskin to the one which falls on my 15th birthday.
Preferably with the ability to generate viewership for my post titles.
So anyway i wanted to decide a topic for today's post.
Honesty would somewhat be contradictory to the topic on facades.
I was never able to pronouce this word correctly.
A misprounouciation in the "fa" sound.
This term wouldn't be that unfamiliar to most people.
A simple word of six letters(minus the plural) can mean so much.
The average human would probably consist of a facade and inner self, simply put, a inner, more spiritual/mental self and the other, the outward, physical mask.
Let me first say this post is not directed at anyone or anything in existence or dead. Maybe you can learn something from the post and i do hopefully you will.
Its not everyday you see me writing so formally. Ok make that interlectually.
Back to the topic, the defination of you inner self would be who you really are, you personalities, your defined characteristics(which may seem impossible to change), your mental self, your other body. Much like the mircroscopic terms & conditions print on documents which most people don't see. Go figure the amount of rising lawsuits and conflicts.
Most of our beliefs derive from our personalities and it is in this "body" where your personalities grow, shaped and gradually define us as a person.
You outer self would be something much like a powerpoint slide. Something that where people only see a side of it or see it from a summarised(brief) point of view. The dangerous thing about this is that sometimes your mask cannot account for who you actually are. It puts a toll on people nowadays to even discover how their peers are really like as a person. An outer self usually does not wholly present your inner personalities but instead acts more as a mask to disguise yourself from others.
Don't condemn me on making this point, reflection would be a much more fruitful option.
A mask therefore in the sense of diguise is much like a facade.
There isn't any point denying that there is hardly anyone that possesses one out there.
In fact it could be said to be a human commidity.
Facades are used to blend in with your classmates to make friends.
Facades are used to suffocate others in confusion.
Facades are the things bosses want to see during a job interview.
The last one was meant to be a joke.
So continuing on my point, facades are present in almost every corner of society.
A quick example to note would be a person of rather quiet, bashful nature to be rather unnessacarily vulgar or enforce acts of embarassment just to be acceptable within a certain circle of friends.
Its not easy for one to peel off the mask to reveal who you really are.
The thing is, most people find it unacceptable to see friends having a 180 degree change in personality after a day.
They have long gotten used to the masked one.
That is also the reason sometimes why it is difficult for one to unmask one self in such a situation.
I feel there isn't a need for such complication in life.
Though it is difficult to get rid of such a mentality, it is possible.
If you friends are really your best pals, they wouldn't mind seeing the REAL side of you.
The world is becoming shallower day by day.
It dosen't have to a complete change at one go, maybe just a slight peek of it everyday.
Days turn to months and months turn to years, by a year, it would probably mean that you've felt yourself become much more honest about yourself, not only to your friends but yourself as well.
Well I think i'll be closing my topic here as my Mid Years starts tomorrow so here's a shoutout to all taking your mid year exams:
GOOD LUCK & GOD BLESS!
