Totally cracked, or it soon will be when I chuck that lying mirror in the bin, brilliant epigram, one of the best, Maureen ; )

Doesn't this depend on whose side you're on? Battle lines ;)

I wrote a similar one about fat shaming myself, but the mirror didn't lie.

In a few words, ah what depth! Yes, mirrors don't lie, they say, but do they? We generally always see and feel the ego, not the real self. Beautiful

Maureen, I like a distorted reality in Dorian Grey dimensions. -Richard

Fantastic piece of observation super Mo, We see them, but only after you pluck them out into reality, cheers David
