“ Life has always been a matter of putting one's feet down carefully ”
The deepest wounds aren't the ones we get from other people hurting us. They are the wounds we give ourselves when we hurt other people.
~ Isobelle Carmody

People lie and mirrors reflect people. If your mother feared mirrors in your land, she feared herself.
Strength without compassion is soulless and cruel. Weakness, too, has its place, for it brings understanding.
