The glass lies.”<br /><br />― Rasmenia Massoud, Human Detritus <br /><br />“It is when you lose sight of yourself, that you lose your way. To keep your truth in sight you must keep yourself in sight and the world to you should be a mirror to reflect to you your image; the world should be a mirror that you reflect upon.”<br /><br />― C. JoyBell C.<br /><br />And according to Confucius' self-developmental milestones from age 15 to 70, "at 50, he declares he knows the will of Heaven."<br /><br />The collocation of the sense of "being one" and "mirror reflection" stirs the reader's emotions and refection on the Buddhist concept of consciousness.<br /><br /><br /><br />Chen-ou Liu, 劉鎮歐https://www.blogger.com/profile/06235248170011255532noreply@blogger.com
