Do you feel it, in the air, on your skin?! Do you feel this...This slight panic, this fear...This .. I doubt it, I don't know what to believe... Do you feel cheated, unprotected, exposed...Never more news, never less truth... Everything is known and nothing is known... We don't know who from our household and what he thinks, we don't know how our neighbor feels... But he is thirsty for information is great... Everyone shows, no one reveals... The picture of the world is not in accordance with what it is fact, but with an interpretation. That's why everyone has their own truth, which is the basis of the mask shows others. Is it possible to live the truth in front of others? It can, when the mask is born to protect the truth and from the truth, not to hide the truth.

Like my mom, who had cancer, who beat cancer... She was always on my mind what she was hiding under the mask. She protected us. Aware of her vulnerability, she took advantage is the full capacity of his personality to face life's challenge. I justify her every lie, words woven with a mature decision and living as if everything was the same as before. I was wondering why she doesn't have hair, why is she wearing a wig? And she laughed loud enough and cute that I didn't notice any internal change in her. All days seemed the same. Because today I understand the depth of the deception, I do not blame her. You can't do the same with an old man and with a child. Because she had a goal. If the pain is already there, it doesn't have to overwhelm everything. They say: More beautiful the soul sobs deeper. I healed her soul. She played her role according to the script which she herself wrote at the moment and according to the situation. It is the most difficult, but also the greatest happiness, to love this life even in its sufferings, without guilt. The mask she was wearing was not was self-delusion. It is a matter of choosing to identify and separate things in life and circumstances that are not under my control, and what can I do with the choices that really are I control. Where then should I look for good and evil? In yourself, in your choices. "I have been all things to all, that by all means I may save some," says the apostle in the Epistle to the Corinthians Pavle. So my mother's mask came from love and responsibility. Faith kept her going not to falter, while the feat in which she lived came from the awareness of human fragility emotions. Instead of looking far into those televisions, the news, the Internet, in search of truths that are often just lies and fraud, we should look at each other and yes let's realize that our strength is actually there, in our close people and the moments we are with we share with them, and that the truth about who we are is in their hearts and souls..

In order to preserve what we feel inside, to escape from reality and suffering, in endless existence, which cannot be measured by time or space, we have awakened the hidden ability to tailor decisions according to the principle of self-knowledge and the best one that appears to us at a given moment. With her help, we step first a real, brave step that later turns out to be the right path or the wrong one turning. In any case, every road we take plays a big role teacher in our life. The way it arises is reflected in the acceptance of things which are out of our comfort zone, starting them, and making changes in our life, creating rituals and habits of going out of the box. On the other hand, there is a belief that it is a correct action is one that is in accordance with one of the virtues, such as, say, sacrifices. Feelings like that should be evaluated in accordance with conscience any suspicion that a certain victim does not bring the desired result can be analyzed by a then evaluate and turn into certainty what we believe in with all our soul. The only way to know if a sacrifice is credible is to expose it to a given one the situation.
