Why I Don't Hide My Freckles Anymore Quotes

“Interestingly, mirrors not only encourage a deceptive self-focus but the very images they produce are themselves deceptive. The image you see in the mirror is actually a distorted representation of what you actually look like and who you are. Your mirror image is only one-half your actual size, and may be, as warned by Isaiah, an “image that is profitable for nothing” (Isaiah 44:10). The halving effect of mirrors may well be instructive in terms of representing only half of your being—in representing metaphorically only the temporal but not the spiritual. Mirrors cannot tell us much about ourselves.”
