well perhaps you are given to educate people? Perhpas its a genuine yearning? I guess it depends where you're coming from, how you feel to express. I think there's more than one way as well - sometiems just being the example, being the one that confronts through your actions becomes a question, a mirror. I guess how you are a mirror is up to what you feel given to do?

From time to time I've been considering getting a new mp3 player. I misplaced the one I use a couple of years ago, but put a notice up in the area I lived in, and it was returned! The screen broke/cracked as well, but its still usable. Eventually the 'hold' button went on it, so it was pretty much impossible to use, and I assumed I'd have to buy a new player, or not use it, but couldn't 'feel it'. So instead I looked online and figured out how incredibly easy it was to repair the hold button, and I did repair it, its still going! my point being the matirx encourages people to buy all the latest electro gadgets and be engaged to them, but if you're looking in your heart is it really necessary? You can be a mirror with that sort of thing too, by not buying into that game. So if you're rocking a phone from 6 years ago and are confronting the tightness of not haveing the latest tech, and people's repsonses, but feeling the lightness of not being swayed by that, then I think that's a good mirror. Same as not using wireless. I went through a phase of asking places I visited to turn off their wirfi at night.

But also perhpas you are given to educate and imform people in more obvious ways too, like you suggest? What d'you reckon? is it coming from ego/fear or from soul? how do you experience those feelings?
