I suppose we all wear disguises in some form. It may be that we have embarrassing secrets or secret embarrassments that we don't want others to see. On the other hand, what others see may not be what we want them to see. It is difficult to change what others see. To simplify it, we want to show people the goodness that makes us who we are, and we want to suppress our mistakes - and that's not necessarily how things work in the superhero world.
A superhero sometimes wears a cowl or a mask. Batman, Spider Man, and others sport these disguises as a way to hide their true identities. In our class, I can point to students who wear a disguise, as well. Though they do not cover their eyes of their faces, they hide behind false personalities. They don't show who they truly want to be. Try to follow this: what they show is what they think others think they are. The truth is, these students, and probably most people, see themselves differently than others see them. We would like to change, but we don't know how.
