Don't think too hard. This is surface material.
We've never seen ourselves...only reflections. So we only really have an idea of what we look like. I rather trust a person over a mirror. But we don't... If my appearance is out of line, I rather ask a friend what it is I should fix? But instead, I run to the mirror. But let's go deeper... If I'm out of line, I can read my word...& try to find my reflection...try to fix things up. I can kick it with the wrong crowd, but still find my reflection...live it up. I can look to the world...find my reflection...conform. The choices are mine...I'm just look'n for what I believe I look like. But 9 times out of 10, we're in the mirror. What is it about the mirror tho? It's honest. But able to be persuaded. Meaning, it's gonna show who you are, but you can tuck away what you want to be visible. It's better to walk through life with someone you trust, because they can't be persuaded. A mirror can only capture who you are, but a friend can remind you of who you're gonna be. A friend can't be persuaded...you can't control how the friend sees you. And that friend can really show you who you are...that mirror can only show you what you believe you look like... Because we've never really seen ourselves...only our reflections.
