Mirror mirror on your soul

Have you ever reflect? Reflect and look back at your actions or think whether what we did or say was good or bad. Have you ever regret something? Regret shows that at one point you have reflected about you.

But, have you ever reflected on how you reflect?

I realize that most of the time I reflected on my life by using my own soul mirror. Is it not often the same things that wander through our minds in regards to our daily life...

Did I do the right thing?
Have I satisfy those people?
Have I done right by my God?
Have I made someone worry today?
What should I do tomorrow?
I have not finished such and such thing, but I do not know how to continue them.
I have done such and such thing, but what does it matter anyway.
Did others talked about me today?
Did they compare me with them today?
Did I unintentionally made them insecure?
Were they trying to help me?
Were they trying to sabotage me?
Was I insecure today?

And in my mind, the answers to those questions will be based on things that I have absorbed in my life. The books I have read, my previous experiences, the friends I have, the education I have received and the movies I watched, I games I play, the conflicts I faced, and so many other factors that I went through and can only view from my very own perspective. All that combined is something that I have come to call my soul mirror. Where I see myself based on who I was. This had led me to be able to recall empowering things that helped me through difficult times. Often, doing this also allowed me to take difficult decisions that could somehow be the better path in the big picture. My experiences shaped my soul mirror.

But what if.. there are things that I reflect that should be seen from another soul mirror? What if my soul mirror is so shaped and polished by my own self esteem that it only leads to a reflection that I can, or worse, want to see instead of the truth. I am going to firstly clarify that I will not yet discuss on what is defined as truth here because it is difficult to write and I have not put enough thought into it. But it would interesting to explore this possibility that perhaps we should examine the way we do our reflections. So sometimes we can try to think of an experience by trying to our best ability to imagine a background different than ours and see whether our view of it will change.
