Mirror, mirror on your eyes who is the truest of them all.
We reflect ourselves in the eyes of others. What we see in ourselves we presume to be true in others. When we are good we expect others to be so. Bad and cynical we treat other the same way. If we are gifted we assume everyone has their dose of “Promil Milk” too and as good as we are or even better.
Sir Isaac Newton and John Nash is never a good teacher – they usually stand in the corner of the class blabbering all sort of arcane and complex theories expecting students to comprehend them as they do. Students usually prefer average teacher knowing too well that they can better explain and illustrate ideas to average students. A trusting person usually doesn’t count change while a leery will always check.
Why do we get disappointed in dealing with fellow humans when the outcome is not what we expect? In reality the disappointment is from within, something is telling us that we are wrong to be too trusting and too good. We cannot accept the truth that others are so indifferent with what we feel and what we are. Our mistaken view of the world is what disheartens us.
We begin to ask, to question, to seek answer, to our own premise about human nature. How others could be so mean, so cruel, and so heartless? What have I done? As we begin to answer these questions. We begin to grow, we learn and we grow old. We learn that indeed the eyes of others may not reflect our own.
This is the critical point of whether we want to remain as an actor or reflect back the awful image we see in others. Do we want others to be part of our psyche or do we want to remain free and be ourselves? Most humans do change and sometimes for the worse. To remain who we are in spite of all the soreness is the difference between living free and forever be slave to the whims of others.
Free yourselves and live your life.
