#47 mirror mirror

Think of all the parts of your body that you never truly see.  From the neck up.  Your back.  Even parts of your chest.  Are you limber enough to see the bottom of your feet?  All we know of ourselves is a reflection of what we see in the mirror. 

Is this how life is?  Much of what we know of our inner self is also a reflection of what we see in ourselves through others.  I believe this is why experiencing new environments or travel is so important; it holds up the mirror for us to see new reflections of inner ourselves compared to others -- things that we can’t see directly.  

If we never look in the physical mirror, we're apt to leave the house with spinach in our teeth or an untucked shirt.  Our appearance is usually better after a glance at our appearance.  Our character and thinking ability is probably better off with a little reflection as well.
