What is mask according to you? When it comes to sensitive issues in which my opinions do not concur with the conventional ones, I prefer to stay mum, unless openly asked. And I wouldn't call this as masking. To me, a mask would be something that is not me, but I adorn it from time to time because the real me could scare others.<BR/>This is a qsn I wanted an answer to. Is staying mum = putting on a mask?Lazy Lavenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16812046946715469245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12259265.post-74152581091792035662007-03-12T23:25:00.000-07:002007-03-12T23:25:00.000-07:00smita bsApologies for the delayed reply.

I didn't notice your comments coming in, this post being in the archives.<BR/><BR/>In response to your first comment, I do believe that the opinions and stances that one holds are very susceptible to change in the face of experience. It's not that one is not strong enough to hold on to one's ideals, just that age throws up a lot of other perspectives. In other words, I agree with you. My worldview is a little post-modern (at least, from what little I know about post-modernism) in that I don't believe in truth/right being an absolute. In fact, I wrote a post around the time when I was veering around towards post-modernism. It's called "Slow Poison". That might tell you what I think about certain things.<BR/><BR/>That said, I'm not entirely sure as to what part of this post made you feel I'm very rigid and not open to thought. If you can point that out, I'll be glad to clarify and we could take it from there.<BR/><BR/>As for the second comment, all thought is welcome and very precious to me. I don't believe in winning arguments/debates, just in understanding and evolving. Your comment -- any comment on this blog -- is taken very seriously. So, comment away :-).musafirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15193219312921687895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12259265.post-76717154146614985572007-03-12T09:47:00.000-07:002007-03-12T09:47:00.000-07:00i wrote the comment coz i couldn't think of u as.....i wrote the comment coz i couldn't think of u as...when ur other articles tells me how open u are to thought...tru wisdom is knowing that right is perhaps an opinion not an absolute...sorry for the boreeeeeeeeee!smita bshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09925398663206579698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12259265.post-29050360160263282872007-03-12T00:04:00.000-07:002007-03-12T00:04:00.000-07:00do you belive that what we hold sacred in one poin...do you belive that what we hold sacred in one point of our life is susceptible to change based on -ofcourse- wisdom? dont you think that you have made up your mind when today's world boasts of no universals...Derrida i suppose! ?smita bshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09925398663206579698noreply@blogger.com
