Modern Masks.

     Through out history and across countries, humans have worn masks. To hide their feeling´s, to pretend they are someone else, for religious reason, theaters, Balls etc. Now a days you see more and more people, esp. older women walking around with their modern masks...To hide their true selves. How have we come to a point in our culture where older women want to look like they are still young? To compete with the younger women? Why do we feel ashamed of our wrinkles? saggy skin? Our soft tummies that are evidence of having borne children? What is it that makes us want to hide every passage of time?
     The core of human interaction is looking at faces, trying to guess the age of a person, to gauge his/her experience of life. our wrinkles show the world how we have laughed, cried, been disappointed, our dignity. Erasing it makes u somehow loose dignity...It´s not interesting anymore. It´s your whole life's experience written on your skin...u have earned each and everyone of it....why would u mutate your body and skin to get rid of your achievements? Yes..a 20 year old has a flat taunt tummy..not every women is lucky to have her tummy looking the same as it used to when she was 20. is that so bad? All the stretch marks on my soft tummy( which never goes back -even after exercise) reminds me of the 9 beautiful months when my daughter was being created inside of me. That is such a wonderful feeling that- I Don't´t mind the stretch marks or the softness.
    There so so much marketing...in clothes, creams, Images in magazines of how a women should look like...But where is the intelligence of the educated modern woman? She should know that´s it´s just manipulation so u can buy the clothes, creams, surgeries...
   What message are we giving the younger women? It´s time to think before we all give in to these ridicules ideas of beauty. A beautiful woman is a woman who is confidant of her self, comfortable in her own skin and always dignified in every situation. I would hate my grandmother or my mother to erase their beautiful wrinkles...to have so much toxic stuffed into their faces that they cannot smile well or frown....
             I don´t think secure women need these modern masks.......
