No man or woman alive who have caught a sight of her/his face with a naked eye.
Most of us have been seeing ourselves,not primarily through our own eyes but through other's eyes.
Can you believe that we have never ever truly saw our faces..
What if a mirror you are using everyday is lying to you.
Yes mirrors are very important on the road,if there were no mirrors in our cars they would be many accident on the road.
For personal use I think mirrors have caused many misery than help.
Take for an instance when you wash your face and you feel a small pimple, when you sense it with your hand it is not big.
Then you take your mirror and start to look at it, you will start to notice that it is not that small, you will start to see that is yellowish inside and the next thing, it is so big.
What is next? Immediately you start to have a bad day.
When you get to work you feel conscious when someone looks at your face.
You even go to the extend of apologising for the way you look.
The amazing thing is sometimes the other person did not even notice the pimple.
Another example is, before you leave your house you look at yourself on the mirror and you look fine.
Your body is not that fat when you watch it on the mirror.
The next thing you walk pass windows of the shops before you enter your office.
When you look at yourself on those windows you start to see a different person, you look twice the weight you saw in your house.
How do you feel? I' ve seen people go into a lot of heartache because of this.
They just saw 2 pieces of glasses made differently and they start to destroy their lives.
When Oprah interviewed Michael Jackson,she asked him if he was happy with his new look.
Michael Jackson said that it is never perfect with him.
The question that I asked myself was what if those mirrors that he looks at were wrong.
What if he was perfect before he did his nose.
The English man even says beauty lies in the eyes of the beholden.
What is beauty for Africans,Americans, Asians,or European differs.
Mirrors are stealing our peace.
Some people want to shine but what they see on a piece of metal destroys them.
I mean ladies and gentlemen someone hears people say he/she is ugly and the next thing they stand before a metal and their lives are destroyed.
Did this person ever saw their face with their naked eye? No.
Meaning they let myths dictates their lives.
It is a lie that their telling him/her.
Some cannot do well because people said they have a big nose, where did you see the big nose or big eyes you have? Media put pictures of models who went through a lot of work, with make up and a lot of things that goes behind the scenes.
The next thing you want to look like them.
You are unhappy.
I believe if we only had mirrors on the road, life could have been better.
More people could have been happy.
How many people we think that they have it all and the next thing they go from one surgery to the other because of what they see in front of the piece of metal.
A piece of a metal invented by a human being just like you,it gives you pain.
This metal does not have class of people it destroys.
It destroys the poor, famous, rich and also intelligent people.
It take the beautiful smile that we were born with away.
When we are young we are beautiful but when we start to stand before this metal we start to change.
In the olden days my great mother used to have a bald head, today in Africa we don't have pride with our heads because of this metal.
Today look at yourself with your naked eye and tell me what you see on your face.
I know you cannot see your face.
Your face does not define who you are.
What I know for sure you are beautiful you do not need any make up.
You are the same beautiful baby that your mother held with pride.
No one can steal that beauty away from you.
That innocence that you were born with it is still there.
No mother will ever say, my baby is ugly, meaning we are all beautiful when we are babies.
What you see and hear from other people is a lie.
You are perfect.
Nothing or any circumstances can steal that from you,go on shine.
