Let's look at some mirrors in cartoons ...particularly, Walt Disney cartoons.

A few come to mind:

Alice in Wonderland, or Alice Through the Looking Glass:

We often look at things backwards, or upside down.  Much depends upon the glass we are looking into.  First Corinthians, Chapter 13:11-12, says, "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became an adult, I put away childish things.  For now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face ..."

Beauty and the Beast:

Often we don't like the image we see, or we see someone else who doesn't like what they see in themselves.  At this point, it's all about how we react or deal with those feelings.  

What we choose to do about it can be either constructive or destructive. There are many opposite approaches in life. For one, we can either be a grouch ...or a Groucho, and make people cry or make them laugh.  In doing so, it's not always a good outcome for ourselves to hide behind a character who we really are not.  Yet, if we are struggling inside, it is not always good to recklessly open up either ...unless there is a stable environment to do so.  Some people need a counselor, and others just need a good friend. 

How we reflect upon others can change ...for the good, or for the bad.  I would propose we do it for the good.

Snow White:

There are many destructive ways we can look at things ...and comparison is often one of the most destructive.

Bambi:

When we look at ourselves, we should always be mindful that there is someone else who is always near ...and what we see in ourselves affects others too.  We can see our reflection in many things, but how about seeing ourselves as Jesus would have us see ourselves ...and others??  If we think no one is near, we are wrong ...as Jesus is always near.

Jesus said, " ...but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life."   (The Gospel According to John 4:14)

Perhaps it would be good for you and me ...to take time to reflect on that vitally important truth.
