Things with him/them, you, may not understand the way he or she stays the way he or she plays the mysterious hand projecting an air of self confidence in independence an indepen-dance in self defense a self defense mechanism while he or she dies while he or she cries a voice is spoken a voice full token here hear "carry on" "tarry on" hidden hidden to all but the handful crew those that are close probably no more no less than one or two it's a test of sorts to those that read to those that look and to those that see smoke and mirrors smoke and mirrors which do you believe Do you see the man the mask "task" "ask" or do you just look listen and read leave [This message has been edited by martiniat8 (09-23-2009 02:41 AM).] |

We can hardly face or understand our own masks so yes we have problems reading through the masks of others. Enjoyed your input. latearrival. |

This poem is much deeper than it would at first appear ~ but on second read, I looked beyond the surface (behind the mask, if you will! lol)and appreciated what you were saying, even more! I concur, that we should take more than just a cursory glance at the people and the world around us. There is more that meets the eye! Enjoyed reading your thoughts!  Big hug, Linda |

Once I went to an advisor and told her I was not being successful with women. She told me to watch men who were successful with women and imitate these men. I told her that I would be playing a game if I did this, it would not be honest. She told me that those who do not play the game do not win. I decided not to play the game, but won anyway just being myself. "To thy own self be true and then thou can be false to no person. But, then I've always shunned advice. |

lol That's quite a paradox, GBride. It was more about judging or forming conclusions based on appearance without looking deeper, tasking people to ask, and delve deeper rather than, base judgments on facade or easily made misconceptions. |
