The original thought, though not explained entirely (reflections in things other than mirrors), was a good one.

I, Anita Sto, plan to do a one year performance piece.
I shall NOT see my self in the mirror.
I shall not see my self in any kind of reflective surface.
I shall not see myself in any kind of pictures (on screen or on paper).

The performance will begin on November 11, 2010 at 11 A.M.
and continue until November 11, 2011 at 11 A.M.

its impossible not to see yourself. Its called a reflection stupid. you see yourself in your car window, in the puddle on the street, in metal objects. Reflections are the reason mirrors were invented. The world wouldnt exist by your logic. If we would be dumb enough to not understand the idea of mirror with all the reflections around us then we wouldnt be smart enough to invent almost anything.
Are you 5 years old, seriously?

you are retarded, there would be concept of beuty because we would be repulsed by a fat woman rather attracted by a beutiful one, there would be similar concepts except it would only better us for we would no longer loathe and see ourselves as outward people but we would only consider ourselves as us.

i think i will go with what yasir said! i may not know how i look but there will be someone who will tell me i look better than so n so or worse! sometimes i think being judgmental is a part of our DNA. sigh!

To add to what Ghazal has mentioned, reflections in other liquids as well, including oil, besides shiny surfaces like, say utensils or cutlery or even doors covered with a metal like silver or aluminium or an alloy like steel…

@yasir – where are you man? you ve gone missing…
Nice follow-up thought on your side… I felt that if we dont see ourselves ever… we would never know how we look and whether its beautiful or ugly… that would keep us away from vanity… regardless of whether we judge people or not… we may think twice before commenting…

@ravoof – welcome here mate…judging… positively …hmm…

@ghazal – yeah reflection in the water…yeah…

Nice post. How very true about being judged. I think it would be a better world if we stop judging people. Although people do judge most of the time with good intentions, the person being judged gets hurt and also it leads to other things. Let us try to live lives without judging or being judged!

Nice blog you have going!

nice thoughts… When we come to thing of it, we make judgements about everyone based on how they look. However, my question is would that not just lead us to stop comparing people with our selves? We would still compare people amongst themselves. I might not compare tom cruise with my self but i can compare him with someone else? And just that would help create my judgements…
