MASQUERADE

Based on the dictionary, the words MASQUARADE can be defined as a NOUN which means: 

a party, dance, or other festive gathering of persons wearing masks and other disguises, and often elegant, historical, or fantastic costumes. 

Why would I need to bring up this word to write here? It is all because I think LIFE IS such a COLOSSAL FESTIVE GATHERING. Yes, life is FUN and gaiety. In our life, we laugh more than cry, no matter what the cause is. 

So as to we can continue to exist in this joviality life, we need to take part in celebrating it, we need to MASQUARADE.

Yes, people are essentially playing pretend in order to survive. We wear masks and other disguises to be accepted by others because of the basic human character that need others' acceptance in order to continue living. 

We always want to please others so they can accept our existence among them. Just imagine how bad it is hurt us to be rejected. Naturally, human can not deal with the rejection. That is why, instead of being rejected and being hurt, we try to negotiate the condition by lowering our standard and sincerely agree to fulfill others expectations over us.

If you ask me, MASQUERADE-ing in life is fine; however, we can not distort the meaning. I mean, to please others by putting on costumes they wish to see on us is tolerable, as long as those costumes do not change who we are or worst, those costumes are used to deceive others.

 In real life, I find people who abuse this MASQUARADE. They exploit their masks and costumes to be able to enter to any group of people.

They change their masks so often in order to acquire their own importance. They even have a heart to hurt others for the sake of their interest. 

Sadly, not all can notice this type of person, only several who are aware. And that is the hardest part, because as the minority, we can not convince others to believe in something that only us who see it.
