It is just a mask

Suddenly thinking of a literature- "The Phantom of the Opera" which has been read by me when I was Form Two. The main character, Erik is an ugly guy with a mask always on his face. He travels all around an opera which was built by him. He is scary, for no one knows his identities, no one knows his emotions, or even no one knows whether he is a phantom.



Sad to say that, there are too many Erik in the real world. They do not cover their face with a mask, but with their faking smile on face. They could be your friends, lover, or even bosom friends. As what I have said before, the phantom is scary for no one knows about him, however don't you think those phantoms with faking smile masks are much more terrible? We know, we should stand far away from the phantom when seeing his mask, however, how when you face a smiling face in real life? Should you stand far away? Or smile to him or her, then get closer? The best method is to prepare yourself a perfect mask, hide yourself under it, and observe the people in front of you. By that, no one dare to give you a sudden attack for they never know about who is stronger, you or him, or her. The rule of the game is: you might be the loser if you step into a community without any mask on your face. Don't wait to be attacked by anyone, it isn't fun, instead, you go first, then you decide, whether attack or not.

Yes, I believe that there might have someone treat you with real face, but the "someone" is too hard to be met. If you find the "someone", you are lucky; if not, it is just normal.



However, I wish that all of us are the lucky one.
