I walked up to my mirror chanting the magical words from the famous Snow White, “mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all…. “
When i was expecting to see a perfect man at the other end of the mirror, my monkey face shows up… displaying all the imperfections that I have tried to ignore over the years.
This imperfections are part of what makes us humans. When we look into the mirror, it’s not just our physical appearance staring right back at us but the emotions, thoughts, ideas of our internal self.
Sometimes, I wonder what the other guy at the other end the mirror feels like been trapped in the shadows of my movements, bound to mimic me endlessly. On a second thought, what if I’m the one been trapped and my mirrored image is living his life to the fullest?
Well, we’ll never know because that’s the mystery behind every mirror. They show us the true reflection of ourselves and also leave us questioning everything else.
@jasminemary, @comfortpeter and @ameh123, hope you won’t mind joining this comment challenge
If I hear "mirror" my first thought is the magic mirror as well. The one of the "queen" or other mirrors. They have a certain magic around them.
Didn't we share a story about a mirror? I suddenly wonder how it ended. Did we gave up on it or was it dead end because the mirror got tired of telling the truth?
@rokhani do you know a story about a mirror or do you have some thoughts to share? Doesn't mean a broken mirror bad luck? I broke one by the way or two....
P.s. I like that picture!

Inactive for a few days must have missed a lot of things. I also know for sure there are many new developments or posts that I don't follow. This is the first time I can make a post especially giving comments about the mirror.
In our daily lives we can never be separated from the mirror. Whether intentionally or not we will see ourselves in the mirror. When we finish bathing then we see our face and for women especially need a mirror to do their makeup. For men also need to see the mirror just to see whether when combing our hair is neat or not. Moreover then think further when seeing wrinkles that are starting to appear, or gray hair that continues to grow.
"Oh, it turns out I'm old"
From this little sentence we can use it as a reflection that aging is an inevitability that cannot be denied, even though we know many products to delay aging. but as we get older we will definitely get older.
Getting old is a certainty, but maturity is a choice. From the moment we look in the mirror we can train ourselves to grow to be more mature. We can think whether we have been doing good things or prioritizing bad things?
Anyway, I made a #comment as a post for this mirror

Mirror is not important to me, After my bath, I just combed my hair , dress up and start working. A lot of mirror in this house of my boss but I am not using it but I can see myself in the mirror because I cleaned it by wiping glass cleaner everyday.

I like your #comment. But I think it's the opposite. It actually means that mirrors provide jobs. By working to clean mirrors you can get a salary or income. Mirrors are more important because with mirrors you can get money. No need to buy a mirror just to look in the mirror. Just look at your face while cleaning it. Just imagine how fun it is to work while looking at our beautiful face and we feel like we don't need a mirror anymore. Or maybe later your boss will buy you more mirrors while raising your salary... The important thing is to continue to be grateful...

I don't use makeup and we had 1 mirror in the house never a fight about it (it can be used btmy 2 or 3 at the same time plus we have windows. 😁
I doubt maturity is a choice. Some children are born old and mature. You can clearly see it with born babies even those born too early. Next to that the sadness is that girls are more mature and not only because they are firced into this role and men are allowed to say they are not up to it, can't carry the responsibilities because they are too young (even if 5-10 years older) and society accepts that.
It is my believe that the mirror does more wrong than good. It causes stress, deoression, frustration because of looks. The inner, the soul doesn't count. It does not if a guy says: my wife is ugly forces her to hide, use make up and dress differently. It's the recipe for broken souls.

I use maturity as a choice because I want to say that many people grow old but so many are still childish. In fact, if they want to learn and take a wiser attitude, then within themselves they will grow a mature attitude. The maturity that I mean is not only physically marked by the functioning of the organs in the body that were not functioning when they were children. The maturity that I mean is the attitude towards problems in this life. I use the term maturity as a choice with the hope that everyone will be able to be better and wiser in taking attitudes and decisions so that they are no longer like children.
Maturity can be formed by circumstances that squeeze us. We are forged by circumstances so that we can learn from life experiences. With the provision of these life experiences, we will be able to make decisions and attitudes that are much better and this is a manifestation of maturity.
Failure, pain and suffering will make us much more mature. we are able to act with mature consideration and not carelessly. One of the doors in the bathroom that I occupy at the top is made of two sides, namely the inside and the outside. On the inside is a mirror so that we can directly or indirectly look in the mirror after taking a shower. For me, when I look in the mirror, it will be a lesson that hair that is starting to turn white and wrinkles that are starting to appear on my face are signs that I must always improve myself. I am one of those who do not want to get rid of gray hair or dye my hair. Every time there is a chat about hair, I always say that we are proud of gray hair. White hair does not have to make us feel ashamed and inferior. I say "I have started to leave the black world to the white world". Maybe it can be interpreted that we are starting to leave bad things and starting to enter a better realm in this life.
How about your opinion @cicisaja, @watii, I am sure you have great vision.
@wakeupkitty.pal, Thank you for the #comment that always sparks a conversation

Terimakasih @rokhani sudah menandai saya,semakin dewasa kita memang harus mengubah hidup kita,dari yang tidak baik menjadi lebih baik,sering bercermin diri supaya semakin sadar siapa diri kita,dan kita tidak lebih baik dari yang lain,karena setiap orang memiliki kekurangan dan kelebihan masing-masing

Bukankah ada satu titik di mana kita bisa merasa puas tanpa harus terus-menerus bercermin? Saya rasa akan lebih bijaksana jika kita melihat ke dalam hati kita dan memutuskan ingin menjadi seperti apa diri kita. Apakah kita tulus pada diri kita sendiri atau kita berpura-pura dan membohongi diri kita sendiri. Berpura-pura tidak sama dengan benar-benar mengalami pertumbuhan batin. Jiwa membutuhkan waktu untuk hal ini dan tidak dapat dipaksakan dengan perilaku. Tidak juga dengan menyembunyikan diri kita di balik pakaian, make up dan senyuman palsu seperti yang ditunjukkan oleh cermin.

You have a mirror at the door? It keeps me reminding of the other way out like mirrors placed on the end of a wall where there is no way out. I heard no one talk about that
I doubt everyone dying hair does it to look younger. It's the same if it comes to wigs. It seems to be a fashion thing just like wearing clothes or a hat or a certain coat. It's no longer about comfort but looks and here comes the mirror again.
My youngest says mirrors in clothing shops are different and you are fooled by what you see. A better version?
Onlu once I noticed it and it waa for sure not a good looking me. I decided not to buy the dress. LOL
I like what your thoughts about grey hair. Goid to know for those who have a violent childhood, anoverdose of stress or are sick and turn grey at the age if 18.
The hair lost it's colour and all there's left is emptiness, something to watch through (one of my grandmothers was white at 18 and white as in santa claus).
Maturity? What makes you believe people want to be mature and grow?
P. S. The next monkey business is online.

I will check your comments and replies 😁
You don't need guts to say something bavk. I find the way how a large group wioes obe away like a bugging horsefly annoying. I reas those same basic comments over and over again. No interest to engage. If that is the case say something about it, see if you can make that person talk and if not write the name on the list of those you will no longer interact with, not comment, not upvote.
I am sure @jasminemary is fine with not being tagged and uovoted (level is higher than yours anyway).
It's better to grow with those who show interest in you than those who don't care and waste time on them.
Just start that list and try out some new names. You never know to what that will lead.
A happy day with or without mirror. the next topic is dreams

No ma'am, I am open to everyone who tagged me here on the Steemit platform I don't see myself as someone who is too special to be tagged. I saw your comment the last time, but to be honest I felt like my honest opinion was based on stories/movies of how someone would go to the mirror to look at his or her and find out there is something else, it is a must for such a person to be scared which is the reason why I said what I said which I stand to be corrected and accept the corrections if I have gone against the contest rules. At @sbamsoneu, if my answer wasn't what you were expecting of me, I said sorry for not understanding your post/comment before commenting.
If this should happen in real life wouldn't be afraid of yourself and shout for help?

We never know what one who writes expects for an answer. You read the part you cited but how about the rest he wrote. It's not the cited part only that makes a text you should see it as a whole. I don't see any reason why he should be shocked and shout for help.
Imagine he goes out on the streets shouting for help. You see him and have no clue why he runs around shouting like a maniac. Would you help him even though his face is perfect and doesn't look like a monkey?
It sounds to me he's just using an expression/idiom to describe his thoughts which I find very creative.
If you have no idea how to respond you can also say: sorry, but I have no clue what you are talking about can you explain what this is about because I am baffled or... you click on the original text and see what it is he commented at.
Answers are usually just one click away.
A great day and it's good to read you can comment.

Many of us can not even see themselves. Why should it be the devil's work if jezus saw it and he left his gifts with the disciples?
Next to that god said he created the human after his example and in every human is a part of god. So what does that mean? We cannot be gifted with that? Since god has no body so the powers are left.

The real face is your soul which has different faces. We rarely see ourselves in the mirror. What we see reflected is a mirrored picture of the body we are locked in. Mirrored!
