Korea is over. Korea can’t exist without Koreans.
Adults are the mirror for children, so get your act together. Kids are our future.
Korea is over!
When there’s only a mirror to reflect
When there’s nothing to be reflected
It’s so unsightly! If that’s your reflection, it’s too insubstantial and just ridiculous. Kids turn their backs in the opposite direction. They might not know the myth, but they never turn away.
In our daily routine of turning back and reaching out, trying to imagine the future and convince ourselves of it,
ourselves, shaped by the present,
we’ve learned that there’s not much difference
between reaching back and tying our hands to reject it.
Adults are the mirror for children.
When I was a kid, mirrors that flipped open into left and right sides were all the rage. They showed a linearly distorted image, and the joke was that we shouldn’t mistake it for our true selves. But honestly, it wasn’t just a joke. A friend of mine ended up with strabismus trying to fix her reflection. My sibling is eight and can already make estimates. The mirror is made in a factory, it’s sold in a shop, and the money to buy it comes from a bank. It’s all part of the adult world, right? Sounds like a joke, doesn’t it?
Looking at the distorted mirror, I said,
It makes me want to die!
