I Saw It in The Mirror
This topic was created in the Philosophy forum by DwellingOnMove on Monday, October 31, 2016 and has 11 replies.
This thread is about if or how big/little opportunity we do have to be ourselves.
When I google looking into mirror, I get a lot of results.
- I saw it in the mirror
I saw it in my face
That I'm no longer needed
Anyone can take my place
- those who look at themselves in a mirror and then on going away immediately forget what they are like.
When you look in the mirror tell me what you see
Are you the loving person you are meant to be?
Can you look back on your life and say “I tried my best”
Are you gentle with yourself do you take your rest?
and so on.

So if we start already as a child of 2-3 years to watch films, listen to books, hear what grown-ups say, and then later they say in the school, on the web, on the street, in the bus...
can we ever have our own experience with the mirror? or are we conditioned to think of something we've already heard, read, seen? something "appropriate to this scene"?
can I only excersise "the being of myself" by choosing one of n data records I have in my mind for the corresponding "scene"? or does that depend on the Moon in Scorpio or Aries, or Libra?

An example?
Last time you were looking into the mirror, the thing which came to your mind, wasn't it something you have already seen in a movie? or from your grandmother on a chatty day of hers? or a book you read when you were 14? or something else but like those examples?
For example this song programs my brain to check my conscience whenever I'm looking into the mirror. Until this day I was only programmed to look if my hair, theeth and skin are appropriate to go out of the house. Now this makes it more complex.
This sentence "don't look at yourself in the mirror in the dream"
I have never heard of it. But now my brain will have a dream of mirros and I don't know how to interpret the outcome if I look at myself in the dream. or what happens if I do not look.
anyway this one took me my "potential own" experience with mirror in the dreams.

Ever watch AHS and they do this mr pig pig pig ritual in the mirror? .haha im jus trollin..i dont know exactly what i see in the mirror and any relevance in my life. ? sorry
would it bother you if you knew you have only ideas that some other people have had before you and have told you about it?
would it bother you to know you chose money cause somebody else implied that money is important? or do you think ok, they made your mind but you said yes cause you're a Cap. so by applying multiple choice you are indirectly the person you are free to be?
Early in life I'm conditioned to have thoughts other radiate towards me.
I look in the mirror and what do I see?
Two big eyes staring out at me
They look at me so brightly and I can see
There's no one as lovely in the world as me

So how much of original own thoughts did Raskolnikov in "Crime and Punishment" have, when he got bad conscience?
Was he programmed as a Christian to have this bad conscience?
Or is it a programming we get as "human being" no matter which religious outlook we have?
And if bad conscience is a good application of programming minds, why does it not always work?
And if people do bad things even though they know it can come to the surface and they can be punished for that, why are these things called "bad"?
Why don't we have an agreement if Trump was humiliating that Miss Universe? Why there are words and thoughts and reasons for all the opposite direction? Quotes for direct action taking, quotes for being patient. Quotes for going against the stream, quotes for respecting tradition or "the oterhs".

Interesting
Most of my early years I focused on being different
then one day I realized that trying to be something based on other people was taking up my time,
I was becoming what I hated to become. So then I just said eff it and stopped worrying about image and I have received more love than ever before
oh, I like this answer. it gives me stuff to think about. thank you for sharing.
This is an example of how these (hundreds of) differing programs still let people unhelped/unprotected:
"Remember that the Mirror shows many things, and not all have yet come to pass. Some never come to be, unless those that behold the visions turn aside from their path to prevent them. The Mirror is dangerous as a guide of deeds.'
Sam sat on the ground and put his head in his hands. 'I wish I had never come here, and I don't want to see no more magic,' he said.... After a moment he spoke again thickly, as if struggling with tears. 'No, I'll go home by the long road with Mr. Frodo, or not at all,' he said. 'But I hope I do get back some day. If what I've seen turns out true, somebody's going to catch it hot!'

Put simply.
Crazy is a woman whom talks and writes million messages about feelings and how she felt and how it hurt her yet not saying most important straight up front what ACTION has led to her feeling that way.
Insecure is a woman that is jealous of

Removing/lowering expectations of your partner is not easy, especially for women because women are programmed to think that if they don’t have expectations they won’t be respected or treated right. But the opposite actually gives results so women keep you
