The Mask of the Future

The Mask of the Future is a concept from philosophy and psychology that suggests we often conceal our true thoughts, feelings, or intentions behind a "mask" to navigate social norms and expectations, shaping the persona we present to the world. It highlights the difference between our authentic self and the public face we show others. This idea encourages self-awareness and understanding that perception can be influenced by these facades, reminding us that what we present is often a curated version of ourselves, influenced by context, roles, or desire to be accepted.
