Sugar coat the harsh words,
Cover all the aches and pains hiding in the dark dungeon of your heart with a coat of varnish,
Plaster the anger and jealousy and put up your best self forward,
Hide all negative and suppressed emotions, unexpressed and unspoken words in the underground prison of your mind, project a smiling face,
And present the perfect, unblemished facade to mask the internal anguish !!
How many of us are guilty of presenting ourselves, thus, with somebody or the other, due to some compulsion?
True…we tend to do this at times. Maybe the humble, conflict avoiding person inside make us do that.

Are we not conditioned to believe that this is the best approach to life? Recently, I was reading about a certain Bollywood actress who claims that she takes life in her stride and is always happy, Considering her perfect smile that is always plastered on her face even when she appeared on a picture hospitalized with dengue, it is not difficult to believe her words. But is she not human? Will she not have her down times too? Well, I suppose she just knows how to mask her imperfections perfectly.

True. Very often, what we see, we believe it to be true. But deep down there is a different story, hidden and masked. Its humanly impossible to remain in that state all the while… Probably, she’s hiding some pain deep within 😧
