Do you think the world would be a happier place without mirrors?

we see in the mirror one of two things:

what we've been brainwashed into thinking

OR

the truth as WE see ourselves

 

and a bit OT re: checking

one of my OCDs is checking. it's not what i call extreme but i have returned home due to it (not recently!). better safe than sorry and i was only a few miles from home of course.

 

alarm clocks are yet ANOTHER thing the world would be better off without

 

Nah, others would still see what one looks like and would still prefer good-looking people. Doesn't really change the society. Plus I would have to put on my make-up blindly. I don't think that would make me look any better .

 

i love mirrors., I have dozens of mirrors.. I rescue them from trash too... I often break alot them for thrills..

I dunno about the world, but I certainly would be. lol All I want to do when I look in a mirror is cry, or scream...

 

I love mirrors - had a 6' x 4' one above my bed for 20 years; trouble is my eyesight got worse in that time and now it's a little bit blurred w/o glasses. But mirrors are super - you can sometimes not be sure if you're cuming or going -if u know what I mean :sunny:

That Is So Cool, So Have I.

Just Did A Rough Check And It Is About 6' x 3'6"

Been Up There For About 22 Years..

Originally It Was For Reasons I'm Sure You Can Guess, But Nowdays I Find It

Invaluble For Seeing Where My Cats Are On The Bed, And Checking First Thing

In The Morning As Wether There Is A Living Being On The Bed, Or A Corpse....

So Far I'm Pleased To Report, The Image In The Mirror Is Still Alive...:2thumbsup:.



Cheers Glen.

 

nice Glen - mine actually went up in 1974 and is still there; while i still own the house I haven't lived there full-time since 1990; now let it for holiday lets and some people come back several times.............

If I had the cash at the time (it's an alcove bed) I would have had mirrors on the three walls too.................

we must be into the same things.........

I Can Hold My Hand Up For One Wall, One Wall Of My Bedroom Is Taken Up With

Three Mirrored Doors On A Built In Wardrobe, The Other Two Consist Of A Window,

And A Large 8ft Dressing Table With A T.V Video, D.V.D Above It....

I Love The One Above The Bed, But What I Really Loved Was The Help I Got From

Rather Conservative Tradesmen, Who Helped Me Build And Erect It, With Not

So Much As One Judgementel Remark...:2thumbsup:.

We Do Some Crazy Things When We Are Young....



Cheers Glen.

 

oh yeah - what sorta help erecting it................?

:sunny: Simon

 

It Amounted To No More Than Preparing The Three Quarter Inch Particle Board With

A Bonding Solution, Applying The Mirror To It, Waiting 14 Days, Then

Helping Me Raise My Erection To Even Greater Heights Than I Ever Imagined....



Cheers Glen.

 

Maybe you should ask if the world would be better without the people who constantly check the mirror. I like to brush my teeth and not get in car accidents so I personally believe it would be worse.

 

I understand you need it to drive, but you don't need a mirror to brush your teeth. You only need a mirror to see your teeth after you brush

 

Mirrors are not the problem. Judgemental, vain people are the problem.


Take away mirrors and we'll still have vapid people judging others based on their physical appearance.

 

We would still here " Does this make my butt look big?"

 

Who needs a mirror when you can look at your face on a reflective surface such as:

Window glass
Any body of water
Any shiny metal

 

No but I do feel there would be more car accidents.

 

Yes.

In general. Mirrors to me equal a vanity issue. I for one do not make it a habit to view myself often in the mirror, for one thing it generally brings me down and makes me to think that I don't measure up to the 'media induced vain portrayal of what NORMAL should be. In some cases automobiles may need mirrors for safety purposes, though I feel the visor mirrors serve no purpose, half the time I find that women like to use the rear view mirror to check or apply make up, and in general mirrors are not necessary to be happy as they only show the surface of its image.
