The Mirror of Judgment
What you condemn in others… is it still hiding in you?
This mirror doesn’t scream. It waits.
And in its silence, it shows you something terrifying:
your own finger, pointing at someone else’s shadow
while yours slips quietly behind your smile.
We love to call others “wrong.”
It feels safe.
It feels strong.
It feels righteous.
But judgment is a mirror turned outward —
and most people never dare to turn it around.
We call it morality.
We call it justice.
But sometimes it’s just pain,
looking for a cleaner face to wear.
You shout: “They are fake.”
But when was the last time you were truly honest with yourself?
You say: “They are cruel.”
And yet you laugh when someone breaks online.
You whisper: “I would never…”
But how many small betrayals live under your breath?
We do not judge others because we are pure.
We judge them because something in us is afraid.
Afraid to admit that we are not always kind.
That we have lied.
That we have hurt.
That we, too, sometimes wear masks made of morality
just to hide our wounds.
🌕 Ending thought:
Be careful what you condemn.
Sometimes cruelty wears the mask of justice.
And sometimes, the loudest accuser is the one most afraid of being seen.
If this mirror burns —
it’s not because it hates you.
It’s because it’s trying to show you
what you’re still not ready to love.
