Masks

 When a person drinks too much they are probably putting on a mask over a mask.  Drunk, they are double masked.  The first mask is the one they wear all the time, trying to show themselves as someone they are not.  They have yet to find their truer self.  This is an uncomfortable way of living, trying to be, act like someone you are not.  So they drink.  Then the second mask goes on over the first.  Now they begin to feel more comfortable, for a few drinks.  They feel like they fit in with the scene.  They ‘Act” differently.  Maybe everyone in the room or space is acting too with drink as the energy.  Is not such behavior a self-punishment?  And if so, for what?  Maybe for not ever becoming our true self, one that has no need to escape into drink.
