We live in a world where we are taught since our very first breath that one should not trust a stranger... one should not blindly accept what someone is telling you... one should be extra careful when someone is praising about the way you look, speak or act. They say, it might be a trap. It might be that you are drawn in, to trust that someone who is singing songs in praise of you.
So we act smart. Doubt every stranger talking to us. Wondering whats his actual motive is... what games they are trying to play. And thus we start our own games with them. While we smile across the conversation, we keep wondering what the other side of the coin is???
Yet, here I stand... in front of a Mirror... not only believing what it is showing me, but also acting cool and smart... experimenting with my hair... checking out my looks when I smile or blush or that flirty look. I know what I'm watching is the Mirror Image... ultimate lie of the whole world... still I love this lie... still I want to be told this lie to me more and more.
Yet, here I stand... in front of a Mirror... like I do every morning and tens of times each day. Faking myself... telling lie to myself... fooling myself. Don't realizing the fact that when a friend says, "You look great today!", he is actually taking about the reality and not the Mirror Image.
Still, I adore that lie each day... still I stand helplessly in front of a Mirror...
Possibly, Mirrors exhibit best Irony one can ever imagine... we have forgotten that real beauty lies... Within !!!
