Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, Do I Recognize Myself at All?
Most people look at their reflection in a mirror for one purpose: to master the art of superficiality. Most people use the word aesthetics to describe this concept, but the embodiment of impression can not be further from reality. Everyone perceives the human experience based on our natural disposition and varying environments that construct our individualism, only to find that individuality can be quite bleak and ubiquitous for some.
The ones who clear the smoke behind the mirror find that they are just another product of subliminal cultural and societal influence. Many are aware and find it better to conform, and that is okay. Others don’t realize that pursuing such epitomai remarkably leans towards solipsism. The mirror reflects only what they feel to be true, or they delude themselves until their masked truth is what they want to see and believe it to be.
However, if you see through the smoke and choose to be brazen in your web of thoughts, you are unlike them. Those individuals have given up, but they have yet to realize it because their mentalities and routines are so deeply rooted in the dogma and expectations that are associated with their lifestyle and culture.
