The Wrong Mirror

You start by trying to ignore yourself. This is reflexive. Ego always wants you look into the wrong mirror. Later you find out you can't, you're just too forking obvious. So you come up with excuses, play the victim blame your parents or childhood. If you keep on watching and don't settle, then you come to an understanding, that it was always other people's fault on every occasion you did your best under the circumstances. This of course leads to depression, suppression and a desire to find some guru to get you out if this hall of crazy mirrors you find yourself in. You almost convince yourself you're happy being this lovable person that everyone likes, it works for you. Then you die - not in the body but in your humanity, now Truth can do something with you, you allow that Truth to set you free but maybe just one prison at a time.
