Do you like to look in the mirror?
Personally, I don't. Not all average-looking people do. Then again, not many beautiful people do too, though that's another story.
We mostly like looking in the mirror when we look good. Feel good about ourselves, and stoke our ego a little (or A LOT, depending on how narcissistic a person can be). Just think about it - How many times have you, whether you are a male or female, heard of the worries that are so "terrifying enough to give one many sleepless nights" about the most fearsome thing to ever happen to them.
A new pimple on the face.
Depending on the reaction of those people and the measures they take (sudden dieting just to remove that one pimple, since every darn delicacy uses oil), it reveals a certain truth about them and about people in general.
We HATE to see our flaws.
---------------------
I've thought about it, and realised that it is a possible reason why some people just hate certain people without being truly about to justify why. Or even if they did so, they don't realise the criticisms of those flaws are basically a mirror-image of their own.
Earlier I posted something on how one behaves or reacts when faced with the negative part of self, and this is one such reaction.
If you wonder why others possibly do not want to talk about your flaws to you, think about how you would react and perhaps you would understand why.
If you wonder why you weren't given more to do despite your talents, your abilities and possibly maturity and seniority, reflect on how you think of others all the time.
If you wonder why God doesn't come true for you and then sulk and whine (even if it is done mentally, it is STILL whining) and stop giving him and his anointed people the due respect, first ask yourself why.
That is, if you STILL have any humility left in you.
I've experienced all that, I think, and am not so keen to repeat that experience again.
