Man and a Mask

I think the quote, "Man is least him self when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask and he will tell you the truth." is saying that when someone talks about themselves, they don't want to reveal who they are. When you are talking to someone face to face they see who are from the outside, the way you motion yourself or the way you talk and think. They really don't know who are deep down, but by yourself you know exactly who you are. Maybe it's something you are self-conscious with about yourself, maybe something that you just don't want anyone to know. Everyday you may have a daily routine, from everything you do, to the way you talk, to the way people see you, they will recognize all those details about you. Having a mask disguising yourself, no will recognize you, you just as well seem like a stranger. In that way you can reveal yourself your inner secrets, because they aren't gonna know you are. Sometimes when you bottle something up for so long, you must have a relief to let it all out, and I guess that what it means when he says "he will tell you the truth."

Everyone has at least one or many insecurities, it could have to do with your personality or your appearance. In the quote, "give him a mask." it reveals that if you are hiding your insecurities, and if you are hiding away your insecurities you are not revealing who are completely. Having a mask, maybe that may make you feel like someone else and it's okay to let people know who are, if your the one not telling.

No one wants their true self to be opened up, having a mask hiding away will let you reveal yourself. I do think the quote is true because in reality no one in the world is perfect. Everyone has at least one thing that doesn't make them perfect. No matter what your probably gonna always have a secret hiding from others. Put on a mask and maybe you'll tell the world.
