"Mirror, mirror on the wall who is the fairest of them all?" The reason why this phrase has earned such a special place in our cultural heritage is that it conjures, in its imagery, an impossible idea. Mirrors do not judge. They do not make comparisons. When we look into them we see only ourselves looking back out - although, if we look very carefully we can sometimes see ourselves judging ourselves! Our own judgements though, are entirely subjective. If you really want to know how you are coming across, look at what is being reflected in a certain person’s eyes.
Mr. Cainer says such nice things...
