Mask, I know you!

Hi, Steemit!

  Do you often wear masks in your life? At the mention of the mask, I immediately recall the film directed by Chuck Russell "The Mask", where the main role was played by Jim Carrey :))

 They are quite appropriate in the theater, at the carnival, at festivals, such as Purim in Israel (which, incidentally, is being celebrated right now). Children and adults walk the streets in colorful costumes and masks or with painted faces. Purim is celebrated in memory of the miraculous deliverance of Jews in the Persian kingdom more than 2,400 years ago, during the reign of King Ahasuerus (Artaxerxes). The name of the holiday came from the word "pur", which means "lot". Children especially love this bright holiday, especially at school they have a vacation :)

 In many African countries, masks are of religious significance, symbolizing spirits. They are hung in the house to protect their inhabitants. As we see, the meaning and application of masks is very versatile. In Israel, they can be seen not only during the celebration of Purim.
Recently, my husband and I walked along the street and saw a mask.

And then we saw more and more:

 It's very interesting to see such big masks on the street. They were so big that we could even hide behind them :) We do not know who made them, but the idea is very interesting!

 These are masks that can be seen. And how do you feel about those that are not visible? Quite a lot of people in life wear masks, playing some chosen role. Someone poses as a kind of donjuan; Someone kind hearted uncle, and someone is a fatal woman. Is it necessary? Or is it better to remain yourself in any situation? How do you feel when you find out that your friend or close friend "wore a mask", while in reality he is completely different in his thoughts?
Shakespeare wrote: "Life is theater, and we all are actors in it." Is it so?

Mask, I know you!
