I must confess that though the rules of the game persuade us to accept internet sock-puppets as familiar acquaintances (well, not quite friends), still, it's a great relief when, in those rare cases in which we want to get a bit closer, names are given in private (as we know). <br /><br />The first step toward friendship is having the courtesy to tell someone your actual name (only the first step, but still).TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-5708627181641109052010-05-02T11:35:59.368-07:002010-05-02T11:35:59.368-07:00A long time ago at work, a friend and colleague in...A long time ago at work, a friend and colleague introduced me to someone, saying “I’d like you to meet Curtis, he’s very open”.

Going around the world without wearing our masks, would make us completely vulnerable. I wear my mask, my nickname for instance.
