Invincible mirror.

Probably the most powerful and profound of our senses is our vision. Nothing can quite compare to it. I can see you through all shades of hue, through light and dark, through yellow and blue. I can see you through layers of your concealed self, through myriad flares of your skin and random reflections of your gaze. I cannot see beneath you.

If you could give yourself one thing, what would it be? When I was younger, If anyone asked me that question, I used to yell out undoubtedly that I would murder the genie for an invisible cloak. But growing up, I felt like the cloak would just shield my self. I would still be myself , but not be noticed, not be questioned, the know-it-all , because I can know what it is like behind the ‘people doors’.

But right now my answer to that question would be the ability to see myself through someone else’s eyes. Except for this virtue, we are gifted everything else. And I always wonder why that is so. Maybe if we knew what that would be like, we would be able to perfect ourselves beyond the basic norms of humanity . And that would mean defeating our flaws. That would makes us less human. No, that is not a desirable outcome . So when God created you and I, he thought let him/her exist , as they are, and be valued as they are, and never be so perfect that our imperfections become less admirable.

We often hear people tell us about how we can talk, walk, speak better. It is good to know. But have you ever wondered, what would it be like if you met you? How interesting would that be for yourself? The whole universe of you will intersect in you and the refractions would not matter anymore. You would be complete and that would be unequivocal.

Despite what you may look like to another person, you are irreplaceable. You can be the power that glides through every ounce of their sense, you can be the the smile penetrating through every heartache. You cannot be mirrored. And that is as beautiful as it is unique.

With every ounce of your being, you can strain and loosen all that doesn’t belong within. Carve out the edges and sharpen the armour. So that when I look at you, I see the intersection smoldered at every angle, without any need to be perfected further.
