They used to tell a story that…

There was a guy who stood in front of the mirror for the first time. For so long time he is conveyed and followed that his name is now lost behind in time but he is still remembered as a symbol for human’s own miserable thinking.

This guy was very sure of his beauty. He always dreamed of it and wrote lines and lines about himself and his own picture. He used to admire himself a lot. But he never saw him in the mirror and that is what he was doing now. He stood in front of the mirror and started analyzing himself. Some reflection appeared and as he had never observed himself in the mirror before so he started comparing his reflection with his image, created by his own mind. He found nothing as similar to that image anywhere in his reflection. He thought it’s a false reflection that appeared in the mirror.

He accepted that there is something wrong with the mirror. He closed his eyes and opened it again. Again he saw the same reflection which does not match with his own mind picture.

How such thing can happen…?

How come his mind was following false? He was worried. He heard what people said. He heard their views about himself. And after listening to all of them he had formed his own image in his mind. He even added beauty factor of his own imagination in it but mirrored image was nothing similar to that image. How reality can be so different?

He got angry. It was impossible for him to believe that he is not exactly as he imagined himself to be. How this can really happen? He saw his angles, measured his curves, realize his symmetry. Nothing matched up. At last he lost his temper and broke the mirror into pieces. He ran away from there.

After that day he started hating mirrors and moreover he hated his self reflection. He remained always afraid of something that he never wanted to face ever again. That something was like ghost for him… and as you see for whole life he remained afraid of his own.

Man…! What will happen of those who are afraid of themselves? Those who do not want to evaluate themselves and to be free from their false image… they will always find their belief at war. They definitely will survive for a while but eventually when they will break mirror into pieces, they will find those pieces scattered over on their path, showing their reflection all the way to their end.
