Wish fortune can be seen in the mirror.
But for those who honk behind you, it doesn’t matter how
close, or far, they are from you. We see drivers – yeah, even those – owners,
actually – of high-end cars honking immediately on the traffic light turning
green. Or just to ensure no one comes before them. Or goes past them. It
becomes clear then that civility is more important than education. Or civility
is not emphasised during schooling. Or even at home, for that matter.
Do they always see objects from a mirror? The green
traffic signal light, perhaps? Or just a common road-user passing by? Or a
competitor, probably. Think of checking a clock seen through a mirror? Runs faster,
or the seconds tick normally?
Remember visiting as a child those fairs with a tent housing
“funny mirrors”? Mirrors of different shapes and sizes, showing yourself in
different shapes and sizes. When you laughed at yourself, you never thought the
mirrors were throwing back at you distorted images of your own self.
Not all mirrors are convex to show images closer than they actually
are. And you do not wish objects behind you to be closer to you while driving!
Do not depend on the mirror. Or what you see in it. One, objects
behind you appear closer. And, they may be distorted. And, certainly, what you
see is just the inverse image. A mirror-image, as they call it.
And what about fortune? Seek fortune straight up. Strive.
And what about that in the mirror?
Wish the mirror image of fortune is not misfortune.
