I looked at myself in it- and found myself to be, what I never could have been- beautiful, with spotless and fair skin, dark haired, dimpled smile, eyes that reflected immense happiness- I as a very beautiful person with an enchanting appearance. The mirror in the bathroom always reflected you to be a person without any anomalies. It always did.
As you come out of the bathroom, there’s another mirror- Don’t you look at your reflection there. You will be deceived and disappointed. All those features, which were conceived by the other mirror, will come to light there. And you don’t want to see it; because you can’t bear to see it- you can’t bear to see your own reflection. Because it isn’t pleasing. The truth always hurts and it’s always hurtful to know it.
Yes, we all are like that. All of us can’t bear to digest the truth about who we really are. Because although we know it, we tend to ignore it- we convince ourselves that we are not what we actually are. We are not liars, cheats or maybe psyches. We give excuses for the behavior that proves it.
On one hand, it’s a good thing. You cannot go on saying that you are a fool, although you may really be one, but you need to change yourself into a better person. On the other hand, if you do not accept that you are a fool, there’s nothing that you can do it and your foolishness will pervade.
It’s a good thing to accept who you are, but it’s definitely harmful if it becomes an excuse for your wrong behavior. And it’s also bad to deny the truth about who you are.
Oh yes, didn’t it come to your mind as to why the two mirrors reflected the image differently? The mirror in the bathroom was dimly lit and the one outside had a tube light above it.
