The view through a looking glass may give a false sublime image.
For this vision shows beauty in the distance yet blocks out peripherals.
Memories gained will give no guide to future life as negativity is left unfolded and the world will remain a simple undiscovered land.
This looking glass erodes human interaction making life as we know it fade away.
Without the challenges to drive us forward, we will all be left behind.
So put down the looking glass and gaze around, for even with negativity, beauty in this world can be found.
Walk to your neighbor to shake their hand, tell them hello while helping with their bag.
Moments like these restore humanity while taking away some of the world insanity.
Once you are home look in the mirror, for there you will see you are superior.
Superior to your actions and thoughts alike, you are the one factor which controls your life.
