Service to self, philosophy.

[Minyatur]

I also caught your meaning in the first sentence  (wink wink, looks in the mirror).

Wasn't necessarily to say look back at the mirror, and more that it is a good angle to seek understanding.

A man that mistreat his child, as an example, is one that seeks to overcome its own inner child and what it is symbolic of. A man that mistreats his wife seeks to overcome its own feminine aspects and what they are symbolic of.

A negative being destroys without what it wants to destroy within in rejection of what it is itself.
