Mary: Can I tell you something?
Ma: Sure. What?
Mary: In Ethiopia we did not have mirrors. I never knew what I looked like.
Ma: Do you remember the first time you saw yourself in a mirror?
Mary: Yes
Ma: What did you think when you saw yourself?
Mary: It was fun. I thought I looked nice.
As I pondered this, I found it odd to think about living my life without ever knowing what I looked like. On the other hand, I find it to be a very liberating notion.

Wouldn't it life a lot easier in a certain way if we didn't have mirrors? What an interesting thought ...
