Reflections: Is it me, you, or us?

Reflections: Is it me, you, or us?

Thoughts about the mirror effect and understanding

The Problem:

Is life showing me, a reflection of myself, or am I reflecting back what others are? How does a person distinguish what is them from another living being? As an observer, it is important to understand this room full of mirrors, and understand if it is my own, or someone else.

The mind, can play some pretty cruel tricks on a person.

If you work on your mind, with your mind, who wouldn’t be confused? — Zen Saying

You become like the five people you spend time with. Who are you spending time with?

The Real Problem:

Life feels emotionally abusive. Maybe, I’m getting soft, at the end of my rope, and tired of the rejection? Is this my observations of myself, or does it have nothing to do with me; and only the reflections of society as a whole; where they don’t see me as being anything?

Would like to see, society reflect to me, what I’ve put out there, and have the ability to change the ugly or parts that I don’t like to something better.

Really a person would have to wonder, if the toxic atmosphere is a reflection of me, you, or us?

If one person stands in front of a mirror, it shows them, how they look. If two people stand in front of a mirror, it show how the two of them look. I’m not really big on mirrors or at looking at myself much. I put a curtain over the mirror, so that I wouldn’t have to look at myself. Truth be told, I know that I’m not that good looking, and have flaws that photoshop won’t fix.

However, some people are so vain, and despite the flaws they have; only want to see their reflections in the mirrors, and in everyone else who is around. Is this me, you, or us? Life has to get better!

The world, seems that love and kindness are becoming luxury goods in life. And personally; I find it to be a huge problem. No one will want to live in society that love and kindness are luxuries. Love and kindness are essential, and very necessary; no one should have to do without.

Yet, here we are, looking in a mirror; and it seems there is some monster starting back at us. Does that mean, we should accept our flaws, and love ourselves anyways; despite the flaws? If photoshop won’t fix it; then it seems a person has to be able to live with what they see in the mirror.

The isolation feels suffocating. Am I being treated this way, because I’m toxic, or is this a problem with society as a whole? What is true?

Yet, what is society showing us? Of whom’s reflection are we seeing?

Thoughts

Seems in today’s world; we are all the walking wounded. And it seems whether we realize it or not we are all hurting. Sometimes people are so bent, and out of shape, that when they try to be kind, they are causing harm. That kind of toxic life is something to be changed. Spend some time, alone, with just yourself. See how you make yourself feel about yourself.

People that have been subjected to abuse, are going to have some issues. Those who have been deprived of life that should have been all it should have been, are going to have problems.

Really society needs a way to be self healing, and cleansing.
