Oh the mask that are worn

Last week in Sis. Hopper’s blog there was a reference to a “False Face.” There was an assotied comment which, did the wrong thing, it got me to thinking. The first word that came to me was CHARLATAN, so here is where it took me. Oh, my source is Merriam Webster – on – line. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/charlatan

One making usually showy pretenses to knowledge or ability
A person who is not what he or she pretends to be
To alter, manipulate, or treat so as to give a spuriously genuine appearance to
You can see that a person who deals with or in being a charlatan changes the appearance to appear one of knowledge and understanding for self?
Then we can or have seen the fraud. This is a person who puts on this mask to appear as something different. You can take your choice as to what their goal is by trying to fake someone into or out of whatever!
How about that person who dawns the mask of a fake! These are those who seem to alter or manipulate a subject, a point of reference or a set of guidelines. What they claim to be and what they are for real will come to light, things just don’t come together. Oh they can appear so real, true, authentic, and pious. Yet in time they are found to be wanting.

Why do people ware mask?
Personal opinion, these people desire to lead you or I into what and wherever so that they will have a form of momentary control.


Just my thoughts as I pass this way;
