WISE REFLECTION
WISE REFLECTION
Greed, Hatred, and Delusion.
Now where have I seen that recently?
Well yes, the usual suspects.
But also in the bathroom mirror.

Humble Nature, Ocean of LOVE, Fantastical Reality
Through the Mirror of Negativity much can be seen
But on the flip side of seeing so much negativity
Is the blinding possibility of the other side of existing
Perfect Pride, Humble LOVE, Unshakable TRUTH
I find I love my reflection so much more when I view it through that lens.

It comes to us far more readily to see greed, hatred, and delusion in others than in ourselves, I think.

I think we use others as mirrors for our self. As in we are seeing in others that which we don’t wish to see in ourselves. So as long as one is guilty of “seeing” these things in others, they are likely equally guilty of “being” these things within themselves. Knowing that the reflection you see in others is truthfully the judgement of the self might awaken the reality that we are what we think we are.
Or in reverse – “You are what you love, not who loves you.” as said by Fall Out Boy
