- Curiously enough, this is something I've been going over a lot in
- counselling recently. It's all very well to recognise that it is
- a mask you present to the world -- but after all the years showing
- nothing else, can you really be sure that there's anything left
- inside? That there is a real you -- something more than the masks
- presented for the benefit of others? Would you dare to try and
- remove the masks if you believed/knew this to be the case (I can't)?
