Our reflections in the mirror are true copies of how we look like but how we see ourselves in mirrors is different. I might see myself as Miss World or something more than that!! It maybe reverse as well. I might not like my eyes or nose. The most I could probably do is to conceal with makeup to hide my flaws. But this is not a healthy sign. It means you are denying the blessing you got without even asking or working for it. I might have been blind (Godforbid) and would have never been able to do anything to change it. We fail to accept the realities we are put it and dream about fictions, live in our own fantasies and as a result we are depressed and prone to anxiety and other medical ailments.
Honestly speaking, it’s all about how you feel about yourself whether good, bad or indifferent. The way we feel about ourselves reflects in our behaviours with others. I won’t react nicely to someone if I don’t feel good, I’d rather keep quite than giving a rude response. Or viceversa.
These are the generalized attitudes that we come across daily. If we achieve an accomplishment we aim for more or higher goals and aspire towards it. We are never content on what we have. As we all have the habit to compare with others in terms of luxuries, places or even other cultures. I am not criticising any particular place or country in this regard. Its human nature to lust for something they don’t have instead of focusing or being happy on what they are already blessed with.
This is the main reason most of us are sad and om tranqualizers for mental peace. The ratios of diabetes, heart attacks and many other psychological complexities have evolved so much. People even go to the extreme ends by committing suicides. Life is such a beautiful blessing given to us and we human beings take it so badly, so lightly and just give it away like that. The realization comes only after unrecoverable losses. This delimma will never end if we will not live in our Today’s.
Yesterday will never be there, future is unseen but we have today to be happy, to be thankful for what we have and the relations we possess. Covid has taught us enough lessons about unpredictable life plans and circumstances. All these are beyond our control and imagination.
We must change our outlook about life. Look into the mirror again, what you will see will be the version of what you always wanted to see. Be happy with yourself. Accept what you are and what you have. Try to give more in terms of solidarity, motivation, emotional support. Be generous in practical approach. Humblness is the best word defined for humanity. The grass in our sides will automatically look greener and worth to live for.
