The Mask of Pretense

 



We often seek happiness in external factors such as material objects, situations, and occasions. 


However, life is unpredictable, and not everything is in our control. 


It's best to avoid having expectations from anyone. This way, we can teach ourselves to find happiness in whatever we encounter. 


The power of pretending to be happy is extreme and can help us keep our pain at bay. 


By training our minds to be present and aware, we can better cope with life's challenges.


Training your mind and being aware of the present situation will help you cope with everything thrown at you.


 In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story about an intolerable mask. Who is wearing the mask and why? What is so intolerable about the mask? Is there empathy for the one behind the mask? Go where the prompt leads!
