A mirror reflects, and what you see in that is an image, but we love to stand in front of a mirror and form a judgement about how others will want to perceive us. We think that is life and get into managing our lives accordingly. Wish life was that simple.
The truth of the matter is that life is like a prism. That triangular object, that transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that refract light. A prism can break white light up into its constituent spectral colors (the colors of the rainbow).
The deeds that you do are like the while light that hits the prism (society). Now what the society thinks is given out as a spectrum because there is multitude of opinions. We tend to like a certain band of colour that suits us, and not look at the entire spectrum.
Some colours in isolation are good, but the colours in combination are balance. Like, we tend to think we are right all the time, and detest the negative feedback, thus becoming selective in our hearing of convenient opinions.
We get into a manipulation of cocooning ourselves in a make believe world of convenience and comfort. When confronted with reality, we like to blame the system, the society and everything around us. If we are blamed, then shift the blame conveniently or start searching for scape goats, thus getting into a segment of selective colours we desire.
Remember when you point a finer at someone, three fingers point towards you!
