FACADE

Facade is a very intriguing word. This may mean an outer appearance of a building or structure. However, it also implies something different. According to Armida Rocha Sulit, facade is the front part of an edifice, thus metaphorically it is a mask. Yes, a personality to cover something bad or awful. In short – a FAKE.

It can be true as there are lots of facades in the world.

If someone is very good to you but when you turn back, he backbites you then he’s a facade. You are unaware that he’s thinking something ill about you. All the while you thought that you’re both good, yet such person is just using the outside personality. All the while you thought you’re both in common stance, yet actually he’s opposite. Meaning, he’s neither true to you nor to himself.

If he is only good to you when he needs help, he’s still a facade, right? He conceals what is really his negative personality. Like when he needs help or requests for something and that would be the time that he would be nice to you and would treat you like a king or a queen. What a technique!

Lots of facades are existing nowadays – maybe because of some reasons. To gain friends? Maybe. To be included in the elite clusters? Perhaps. Or just to take advantage of the people who are generous and ready to lend a hand or simply people who are nice. Possibly.

You really don’t know what kind of personality a person has. And you are dealing with them everyday. Well, it’s high time for you to assess your attitude because you might not know that you are the facade after all.

Think real hard.
