discovery or invention by man and what do you supose the most wonderfully enhancing to man kind ? Maybe they are one in the same ?

I thought of this whilst looking in the mirror, I had a smudge on my nose and as I washed it off, I thought of those peoples who have never seen their reflection and all that would go with that .......That they are only able to see themselves through the eyes of others for starters.

So, if I thought about it for longer I may say other wise, but for now I shall name ........The Mirror as corruptor and ...........Painting /Writing Materials ( as in Art ) as the enhancer.

Yes, I have always believed so.

But, the mirror, most of us went through that strange period of guilt and confusion and the realization of our imperfections etc,in our pre or early teens, narcissism being a part of the guilt or perhaps more correctly, questioning, especially, perhaps, those who had a decent enough education to have been taught about the Greeks. It is one of those things that I have now and then briefly thought about but for what and why I have never decided so never came to any conclusion :-)

If, as it was for many thousands of years by the most civilized ones of the time, thought that we are the face of God ( because we all come from God, that collectively we are God, alone we are only a part of 'its' face ) What did the first who saw their image see ? the image of God ? Narcissus sin was that he fell physically in love with that image. ...........

The question is what are we really looking for when we look into our mirrors ? If it is, do I look respectable, or not, as the case may be :-) We are the in danger of falsifying, the face of God ) .... Yer we know all this but .......its interesting and funny and sad xxxxx

An honest self portrait or self images is not an easy thing to accomplish is it ? Should we even try ? Perhaps we are best not looking too much, I can put my red red lipstick on perfectly with out looking in the mirror, after years of practice, but I cannot get that smudge off my nose without either looking or without help ? Nor did I know it was there with out looking or being told :)
