What do you fear?
That’s the topic presented by the church speaker today. The speaker emphasized that most people fear on how others think of them and as a result, they often put on masks in order to paint a beautiful picture to others. This would probably win attention and caused others to be impressed but will definitely not gain genuine friendship, sincerity and honesty and would only bring dissapointment in the long run. But I guess everyone has to find their ‘anchor’, something or someone that an individual can trust so that it would become the support and motivation throughout life. Do not let fear stop you as that would only prevent you from progressing. Instead, think of what you fear most and what’s your anchor to help you get on with life - mel.
For a rice bowl or two, everyone does that (putting on a mask).

Appreciate your reminder and of course some are done unintentionally and vice versa. But I guess the morale is as long as you are aware and willing to bear the consequences if it’s on purpose. As a result of that, the fear might only grow stronger as masks have to be worn consistently.
