Talk

How do we know we are not blankly echoing when we are speaking? In other words, do we say what we think, mean, and believe? When do words we learnt becomes our own? Often, words become a script. I suspect, we no longer speak from our heart, either because we are afraid, or we lose our awareness. Awareness of which life is ongoing, and that we are not some walking echoing machine.

However, those words that are spoken from and through hearts are ever living even if they are seemingly simple and repetitive.

I suspect that the population that are pro-mask are largely also pro-batman, pro-spiderman, etc... Indeed, we have found our superhero in the mighty surgical mask wearing physician, who are worthy of commemoration with solemn statues. Sometimes I wonder the environmental implication of the mass production of the many disposable surgical masks. Given this consideration, it makes sense to restrict usage of masks for only the physician class. What about the laity? Should the laity be allowed to wear mask?
