Oscar Wilde And The Test of Wearing a Mask

Oscar Wilde said you could tell a lot about a man if you put a mask on him. How would you act with a mask on that disguised your real identity? Would there be consistency or integrity to your behavior? Or are you one of those people who send out nasty anonymous messages via the internet? If you watch the film Groundhog Day, there is a moment when Bill Murray starts to become authentic, when he starts acting from principles and not from his personality or wounds. It was the only way he could transform his situation and this set him free. It is an excellent metaphor for our lives too.
