At Eternity's Gate

Acheel

A mirror is the galley slave of its master’s will,
often paint the portrait of them desired view.

    A great short with a most interesting metaphor. I have always thought of the mirror as the court jester the only one allowed to tell it as it is

      Psychologically speaking in this one, on abstract terms yours is superior

        Don't demean your idea it works wonderfully and I just found it interesting in that I had never thought of it that way. I appreciate the introduction of new views.

          Never thought of it as demeaning, just noting the twist, thank you!
