“Now,” continued Father, “some say they wear the masks to make others feel better. They don’t believe in the mask, but suffer them for the sake of those who do.” He paused, shaking his head. “Lies have nothing to do with charity—but come from the father of lies, the Devil himself. Instead, you may wish to ask yourself if you are really wearing the mask so others won’t shame you?”
While compassion is essential for the survival and progress of the human race, courage and discrimination are also equally as important.
Stay sane, stay real,

PS A reviewer of Much Ado About Corona wrote on Amazon: "This book truly is about love … and as the story grows we see almost all of the characters demonstrating their love in various ways but also proving through courage that love means embracing the truth and being prepared to take action on behalf of those that we love. It also contrasts true love with the harm that comes when doing the right thing is sacrificed by well-meaning but detrimental and self-serving actions hiding behind the confusion of misguided love."
