Estaba haciendo unas diligencias en la capital de mi estado cuando llamó mi atención que unas chicas caminaban por el boulevard muy coloridas, sonreían, entre ellas parecía haber camaradería, compartían ese momento especial.Las dos portaban máscaras y una de ellas una peluca que la hacía ver llamativa. Me entusiasmé al verlas porque es increible como esa percepción visual es tan contagiante.
Resulta que eran colegas, docentes, que se dirigían a un desfile en otra comunidad, hasta les pedí tomarnos una foto y alegremente accedieron., luego me despedí de ellas y me quedé recordando viejos tiempos con mi esposo que me acompañaba.Reflexionando un poco el sólo hecho de ponerse una máscara genera un efecto de poder y seguridad en quien la usa, son minutos, horas, en las que juegas a ser otra persona.
Por ello las fiestas de carnaval son tan populares, son entretenidas, alimentan la percepción visual, el humor, el ego, compartir, hay un sinfín de emociones, el sólo hecho de esperar a que lancen caramelos te pone en expectativa, tal vez sólo agarres uno entre tantos niños, adultos, pero son momentos de emoción.El carnaval alimenta tus fantasías y permite que tus sueños salgan a flote.
Hey friends, how are you, the week starts with the joy of carnival, many of us wait for these days and enjoy them with joy, these are days when wearing a mask is something normal, you can be whoever you want without fear of what people will say, however far from these costume parties people face fears, insecurities, problems in our real life.
I was running errands in the capital of my state when it caught my attention that some girls were walking down the boulevard very colorful, smiling, they seemed to have camaraderie between them, they were sharing that special moment, they both wore masks and one of them a wig that made her look flashy. I was excited to see them because it's amazing how that visual perception is so contagious.
It turns out that they were colleagues, teachers, who were going to a parade in another community, I even asked them to take a picture and they happily agreed, then I said goodbye to them and I was left remembering old times with my husband who accompanied me.Reflecting a little the mere fact of putting on a mask generates an effect of power and security in the wearer, they are minutes, hours, in which you play at being someone else.
That is why carnival parties are so popular, they are entertaining, they feed visual perception, humor, ego, sharing, there are endless emotions, just waiting for candy to be thrown puts you in expectation, maybe you only catch one among so many children, adults, but they are moments of emotion. carnival feeds your fantasies and allows your dreams to come to the surface.
Seguro has escuchado la célebre frase: ¡Ya tengo el disfraz puesto! una ironía para aludir al hecho de que no necesita disfrazarse para ser quien quiere ser o quien ya es.Sin embargo la realidad de la vida es que por lo general lejos de las fiestas carnestolendas llegamos a usar máscaras invisibles y es inevitable porque somos humanos que sentimos temor a equivocarnos, a ser mal vistos, a ser juzgados, a sufrir, a correr riesgos entre otros.
Sin darnos cuenta usamos estas máscaras las cuales llegan a convertirse en un escudo contra el dolor, podemos estar un buen tiempo sin ellas en espacios donde nos sentimos cómodos, protegidos. Ohh seguro amigo lector dirá: ¡Pero no las necesito, soy yo en todos lados! si, que bien que se sienta así, pero estoy segura que en algún momento ha fingido algo que no siente, se ha incomodado, tal vez aunque sea por un momento breve mintió. Lo que intento decir es que todos en algún momento usamos una máscara para protegernos y eso no es un pecado.
Pecado sería dañar a otros en el proceso, extorsionando, lastimando en el amor, desilusionando, usando esa máscara para sus fines más oscuros.Pero si la usa para ser feliz sin dañar que bien vale, entonces sea quien quiere ser. Pero lo importante es que esa máscara no se adueñe de su vida, puede llegar a tener poder porque usted se lo da, diferenciar entre la fantasía y la realidad puede ser dificil si te acostumbras a ella.
Surely you have heard the famous phrase: I already have my costume on! an irony to allude to the fact that you do not need to disguise yourself to be who you want to be or who you already are, however the reality of life is that usually far from the carnival festivities we get to wear invisible masks and it is inevitable because we are humans who feel fear of being wrong, to be misunderstood, to be judged, to suffer, to take risks, among others.
Without realizing it we use these masks which become a shield against pain, we can be a long time without them in spaces where we feel comfortable, protected. Ohh sure reader friend you will say: But I don't need them, I am me everywhere! yes, it's good that you feel that way, but I am sure that at some point you have pretended something you don't feel, you have been uncomfortable, maybe even for a brief moment you lied. What I am trying to say is that we all at some point wear a mask to protect ourselves and that is not a sin.
Sin would be harming others in the process, extorting, hurting in love, disillusioning, using that mask for your darkest purposes, but if you use it to be happy without harming yourself that is fine, then be who you want to be. But the important thing is that this mask does not take over your life, it can become powerful because you give it to it, differentiating between fantasy and reality can be difficult if you get used to it.
