Huck_ Finn ji,
Thanks for the response.

Make up means to make up for something that is missing. You make up as an artist to play a certain role because your actual face is not able to do that. So, in other words you hide your true self which is flawed for the role you want to play.
Gothic culture requires one to dress, and make up so one can fit in, for example using black clothes, black nail polish and make up etc. One can not use blue or pink to look like a Gothic. There is nothing wrong with that in my opinion. I have 4 boys who owrk for me and belong to the Gothic culture with chains and boots in the hot summer of the desert. But this is nothing to do with our interaction.
What made you fit in the Gothic culture? or What attracted you to it and what kind of acceptance you are looking for by dressing up as a Gothic?
What do your parents think of it? I have no idea how old you are but is it a kind of rebellion against their value system without understanding why they have those values?
Forgive me if I am assuming too much.
Do you consider the institution you are part of a false one? If yes, then in what way? If it is a false one then why this desire to fit in a false institution?
Well, if one knows it is a false institution then one must have the answer or the reason why one wants to be a part of something false, fake and sometime make believe hence not true.
This seems to contradict your statement in the other thread in which you said:true path and the markers are constant.
This is your own presumption, not mine.

not all make up is for flaws.I work as an artist, i make up to play roles, characters...it is a part of my task.

make up is also the exterior we assume to be one among the many. many here is subjective. I would be motivated by an internal desire to be a part of even small many. e.g the gothic culture.

fit in
we fitting in goes both ways.

all institutions are based on assumptions that a limited number is true and there is more false than truth.
So being a part of institution is the process of fitting in.
Do you consider the institution you are part of a false one? If yes, then in what way? If it is a false one then why this desire to fit in a false institution?
Why be a part of institution?
i have no answer to that

my way of dialog is wee bit odd, hope you are comfortable with this.
