Why The Mask Is A Dictatorship?

It is necessary to specify why today, August 2020, I decide to continue using the mask.


Seriously, I don’t understand the complains about the obligation to wear a mask.


Everyone has their own opinion, and this is mine:

  • do you wear a belt in the car?
  • do you wear a helmet on a motorcycle?
  • on a boat do you wear your life jacket?
  • do you still not smoke in restaurants?
  • do you fasten your seat belt on the plane?

All this is mandatory!

But only the mask is a dictatorship ????


When I wear a mask in public and stores, I want you to know that:


🔵 I’m polite enough to know that I can be asymptomatic and still give you the virus.


🔵 No, I don’t live in fear of the virus; I want to be part of the solution and not the problem.


🔵 I don’t feel like “the government is controlling me”. I feel like an adult contributing to the safety of our society, and I want to teach others the same way.


🔵 If we could all live with a little more attention to others, the world would be a better place.


🔵 Wearing a face mask doesn’t make me weak, scared, stupid or even “controlled.” Wear a cover makes me thinking about the situation but also about other people!


🔵 When you think about your appearance, your discomfort or the opinion others have of you, imagine that there is a neighbour – a child, a father, a mother, a grandfather, an aunt, an uncle or a friend who is with the respirator installed, ducted—dying utterly alone without any family member being allowed to get close to his bed.


🔵 Ask yourself if you could have helped them at least a little, perhaps with a mask.

Did you still convince that wear a mask is a problem? Did you even think to make a small effort for everyone, not last your friends, relatives and family, it’s a big ask?

La colonna sonora dell’autunno: come cambia quello che ascoltiamo quando cala la luce

Perché in autunno cerchiamo suoni più caldi e lenti? Viaggio nella musica della stagione, tra jazz, folk e il ritorno dei concerti al chiuso.

Fuori… la luce: il diritto di essere madri senza dover nascondere il dolore

La felicità, quando diventa un sentimento obbligatorio, può rendere ancora più difficile raccontare il proprio dolore, soprattutto in un’esperienza come la maternità, sulla quale si concentrano aspettative profonde e immagini spesso idealizzate. La nascita di un figlio viene associata alla pienezza, alla scoperta di un amore immenso, all’inizio di una vita capace di dare significato…

After more than 25 years spent between London, Warsaw, and Brussels—three cities that taught me everything except how to resist a good coffee—I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with international outlets such as The New York Times, Time Out London, and Vancouver News.
Today, I’m the Director of Urban Mood Magazine and the Editor behind Longevitimes.com, where I explore stories at the intersection of culture, photography, and longevity.
I love blending images and words to turn every piece into a small journey—authentic, original, and occasionally a little mischievous.
In recent years, I’ve been diving deep into the world of Sardinia’s Blue Zone, developing expertise in longevity, traditions, and the science behind living better (and longer).
And yes—I’m also an Arsenal supporter. Nobody’s perfect. / To contact me massimousai@mac.com
