“Do you not know that there comes a midnight hour when everyone has to throw off his mask? Do you believe that life will always allow itself to be trifled with?”
— Soren Kierkegaard

Simplified Meaning:
There comes a time in everyone's life when they have to be honest and show their true selves. You can't hide behind a fake personality forever. Imagine someone who always pretends to be happy and confident, but deep down, they are sad and insecure. Eventually, there will be a moment when they can no longer keep up the act, and people will see who they really are. Life isn't something you can just play around with or take lightly. If you're not genuine and sincere, it can catch up to you. So, it's important to be true to yourself and to others, rather than living behind a façade.
