The Human in the mirror
When we look ourselves in the mirror, what do we see? Or, what do You see? Do You only see Your appearance? Or do You see Yourself as a Being? If we are going to manage to Heal ourselves, we must look at ourselves within. Because allthough our appearances is part of who we are, because it is how we express our personalities. Our style, is how we express ourselves, and our bodies is how we look. As a Being. But to Heal, we must look within. At our selves. What is it, that has made us, into the Being, we are today? We all have grow points in our selves. Which I prior, have called building blocks. Where we have learned something, having an experience. And, we learn something from every experience that we have. But we dont allways learn good lessons from them. Which can make us grow in a bad way for not only ourselves. But for others. Like this, if I have an experience as a Child, where my Home situation is a Place I have no power over myself, and I get teased or bullied at school, that can trigger me, into thinking I have to be in power over others. To have power at all. Because from my Home situation, I have learned, since I hold no power over others at Home, I have no power. Therefore, I need to hold power over others where I am at, otherwise, to have power. But this is wrong. We all hold power over ourselves. Our own choices are all our own, and we hold all of the power to shape our lives in the ways that we want to. But we cannot control circumstances. But what we do with what we have, is all in our power. And we need not to take power from others, to be powerful in our own lives. It is, ofcourse way more difficult for a Child to shape their lives, in the way a grown up can. But they still hold all of the power to choose for themselves, how to react, how to act on and how to express on a difficult experience. All of this, is not very easy for a Child to Understand. But with the right support for ourselves, starting from Childhood and all the way until old, I think that we could have had the best opportunities to grow as our best selves. Im not saying everyone needs counseling. But many would have benefitted from it.
