Today I met a man, a man with a mirror. He made me look into
the mirror and see something I had never seen.
For many years I had thought of myself as selfless and
giving. I never remember saying a “No” to either a friend or family member. For
years I thought helping others was the best way to live, not because of the
feeling that I got but because of the feeling the recipient reciprocated. For
years I did not lie. My near and dear ones know that I prefer being abused at
than lying and getting saved. For years I thought these are qualities,
qualities I did not see in many around me, I felt good, I felt satisfied.
But today the mirror asked me, why? Why did you never say no?
Why were you helpful? Why did you never lie?
I told my sub conscious, because I chose to do so. I chose
to be so. And my sub conscious replied, are you sure?
