'Mask', 'Mind' or 'Distance'?
Wearing a mask and keeping a social distance is a prime concern nowadays. I am not going to highlight that part anymore cause everyone I think is well enough aware than me regarding this burning issue. I have observed throughout my entire life that, there is a ‘distance’ in every walk of life and in every object. Even the smallest particles electron and proton maintain a distinct gap despite having severe electrostatic attraction due to their opposite charge. Now if we think that, two opposite-sex human beings will have this kind of attraction forever, how far is it valid? There will be an attraction of course but sometimes we forget about our own entities and individualities. Every human being is different and willingly or unwillingly they maintain their own entities. If not, their existence will perish forever. If the smallest subatomic particle can maintain its individuality but not falling on the positive charges, then being claiming the most exalted creation, won’t a human being maintain his or her own entity? Definitely yes, right? We may agree or disagree, but it is the ultimate truth. This phenomenon is my ‘distance’ of concern here.
A few days ago I wrote something regarding the distance between two skewed lined. They always maintain a certain shortest distance. In comparison to that, the human mind is very much more complex. They will neither mingle with one another. Sometimes we pretend something which is not unusual. This world is nothing but a colorful podium for the pretenders. We all are acting over a script. Those who things they turn people to move under their commandments are also being turned on by some other things which they are unaware of.
We all put on masks on our faces according to our benefits. We change our masks from time to time. This is how we behave with different relations around us. Our surroundings also compel us to do so otherwise it is not possible to survive for a single day. Sometimes we wonder about seeing the different faces of the same person at times. But it is obvious. It supposed to be. This is what happens around us every moment. With changing the masks, the ‘distance’ also changes. Our masks sometimes bring someone closer and at the same time, it throws maybe some nearer or dearer ones in agony. We are just happy to change our mask but do we really think of what we had left behind? What I had just done to others. It is not the mask issue always. Masks can be seen, can be altered but how about the mind? Can we change our minds so easily? Can we?
