Psychology of a Broken Mirror; Or When a Shattered Mind Reforms

(Not Seton Hill WPF Related. Maybe.)

Imagine if you will, a broken mirror. Imagine trying to put it back together. Try not to get cut.When the pieces more or less fit back together, what is the result? What happens when a piece is missing, or if the pieces aren't placed into any logical order that resembles anything like it was whole? There will be voids where there was substance. That missing or out-of-place piece is a disruption of what was, what is, and what will be.

In some esoteric and abstract vision, humanity is a mirror, broken into billions of pieces. Many of these pieces have reformed into what may or may not be a reasonable whole. Those pieces usually contain a warped and fragmented image with sharp edges all around. Then, the mirror often damages itself trying to be different and to its broken psychology, better than the other reformed piece. The broken mirror continues to wage war with itself because it fails to recognize that it is not whole.

What of someone looking into a broken mirror at war with its own broken image? The viewer is likely damaged, fragmented. They are unable to imagine the beauty of a whole image. Something may be missing, or the image is severely warped.

Translation/Summary: the simple act of breaking a mirror and trying to put it back has complex consequences. And depending on who it is viewed, could go either way. There is often something missing in a perspective of something either due to pure ignorance or the limitations of the human mind.
