Reflections of one's self

Isn't it funny how some run around this earth feeling as if we are so unique, a total one-of-a-kind? The truth is, we are made of mirrors. Those mirrors are reflections of those who have influenced us and molded who we are. Sometimes those mirrors focus and reflect on someone else who looks up to and respects you. This is the personality of modern humanity, a chain reaction of reflections creating heterogeneous consciousness' that we perceive as wholly unique. Those enlightened to this fact may be skilled enough to remove those mirrors which have negative influence, in order to more purify their reflections, but this is a rare skill. I fear that this life is too short to perfect such a skill, but I practice never the less.
