Behind the public face of the people in various occupations is a whole saga of personal suffering and joy which they wish to

share with others.

For

In the recent times, humans tend to lock away their inner selves in the name of practicality and reasoning. Their daily lives are full of work that keeps them busy all the times so they do not get the time to share their true feelings and emotions with others. But they yearn to have a companion to share their inner self with. They put on a mask to hide their inner vulnerability so that they are not left out of society and become alienated like Iona. Everybody has a story that they wish to tell but are incapable of expressing their true selves freely.

Against

People in various occupations have different stories to share in spite of their public face but some choose to keep their feelings suppressed and have no desire to share it. People do not wish to share their own stories because it might expose their secrets and weaknesses to strangers and they might become the subject of gossip and incessant rumors. To avoid such confrontations people bottle up their emotions in order to live serene, peaceful lives, free from judgment and scrutiny of onlookers. They struggle to make ends meets and contribute to society with technological advancements, to show off their confidence and control over loose 'emotions', and to secure a permanent position for themselves in the society. They resort to drinking to drown their sorrows and disappointments and invite others to do so, swapping sob stories and forgetting them instantly on the following day.
