Judgement Day

Mirror Images

Judgement Day

The illustration posted by Wu Shaman today from Paradise Lost reminds me of the paradise we lose every day when we judge ourselves and others harshly. The deep shame we feel at our own lack of perfection. We even feel shame at at our judgements and at shame itself.
That's me, looking in the mirror. Wu's post shows me, shaming myself.

So true of all of us Mary. I always liked the way they showed it on the Tom and Jerry cartoons with the angel on one side and the devil on the other before the mayhem started.

Thanks, John! :-D It's good not to feel so lonely in shame. :-D
