Looking in the mirror.

It's been stated by some that what you see in other people is merely a reflection of who you are?
For example...
If you look at a person and see love, it's because you are loving. They show you who you are. And it works for the negative things also.
Do you think this is true? What is your experience?

This does not make any sense to me.
First when you just look at a person... you only see the outside aspect of that person.
The only thing the physical aspect of a person tells us is if that person cares or not about its body and its appearance.
In order to see love... or anything else... you actually need to talk to that person. A wise person can usually tell within half an hour if it can relate... or not... to the person it is talking to.
The reason your fairy does not work is because a loving person will never see love in everyone. Furthermore... what is love?
There are a lot of people out there who love their family and hates everyone else...

I'm referring to what you see reflected back to you. Not physical appearance, but something more like attitude.
Every behavior you express is a form of communication. Every behavior you observe in another is a communication or a reaction to your behavior.
What are you communicating? The best way to discover that, is to look in the mirror of the people around you.

Of course you will get a different response. Everyone is unique.
The mirror provides feedback to you. Now you are able to effectivly measure what you are putting out... by the response you get.
Some people may resist the idea they are responsible for the way they interact with others. It's a lot easier to call people an idiot or an a@#h*%&, than to look at your own behavior and communication.

A reaction to my behavior... that makes more sense.
But I still won't get the same reaction from everyone. People who can relate to me will like me... and those who don't won't like me.
So the idea of the mirror does not work.
We can even see this on myLot. I have people here agreeing with me and disagreeing with me. So what is the mirror telling me?

I think to a point that statment is true; however, there are those that when you look at their true person and into their heart its a bit cold and empty. Now not all the time and I do try and see the good and love in everyone. Sometimes though it is just not there to see. There are people I've come across in life that reminded me of myself when I was younger or even now, but then there are some that are the complete oppisite of who I am and who I am striving to be. I think in people sometimes you are able to see who you are, and able to see who or what you don't want to be. So it work for good and bad I suppose.

I beg to differ, I've looked into the eyes of some really hard and evil people and trust me there was nothing there but cold darkness. There are some that are truely evil and wether you want to believe that or not is your thing. I know what I've seen and what I've dealt with and there are truely evil, and cold people in this world.

Perhaps there is some truth in it, but lol... what if you see a physical truth of ugly face, does that mean because you are reflecting an ugly face also, even if the physical shows otherwise? Lol this must be tough.

I will admit that I have done that before. I have learned to see myself how others see me. and I have learn to see myself, the real me. sometimes i see things i need to work on, but for the most part when i look in the mirror i see the best me that i can be today

Ya you can get the return of your investment in this market. If you look some one with smilling face, He or she will naturly smile in responce of your smile. It means that you can get real price of your product here in this market. If you are person with tough mood, you will face the same mood in reply. It means that your's sayings are hundered percent correct and agree to your statement.

I can't agree with you there, everyone is not so nice. so people can be really nasty, they might of had a bad day or something. most people are nice, untill you get to know them. God is love, so for all the nice people it is Gods creation. for all the bad people it is the devil himself.

Of course it is true. I agree what you meant. Once when I was going out with my husband and had dinner outside. We met my husband’s old colleague and we greeted each other and chatted for a while. After saying good bye we then had our breakfast in the restaurant. My husband complained that his colleague looked older. I told my husband, “your colleague is the mirror, what you had seen actually is your image.” My husband then understood that he himself also looked older as times go by.

I know this is true. It took me a long time to realize that you get out of life what you put into it. The only thing you have to do to hit a Home Run is keep getting into the Batter's Box no matter what.
