A Mask of Desires

Nowadays a Mask is a Genuine NEED. Isn't it?

I started with the most cost effective one. They call is a 3 fold mask. Nice, cheap. Most of the people I see are wearing this one. They cannot be wrong…

After a day or so, one of my friends told me that if I am serious about my health, I should buy a N95 mask. So, I bought a few from Amazon. Nice safety, little expensive, but I can afford it. After all, health is more important…This one also lasted for more days than the earlier one.

Then another friend gave his advice. Try out the one with loops. Wow, as it is this one hurts the back of my ears…So, what next…bought these too from Amazon.

Very comfortable, what a choice. Awesome. Guess what happened after a few days….I saw another friend wearing one with white colored loops. Oops, mine has red loops. Time to change again :)

That’s what our mind is constantly doing with us. This one, then that one, then the next one…Stop!

I thought a Mask was what I NEEDED, not one of my DESIRES….
