I read an article years ago about the games our mind plays. It was about obesity. It said some will look into the mirror and see themselves as they were years before they put on their weight and refuse to really see what the mirror is telling them they see a slimmer person that is not there. The mirror shows what is but the mind says NO I am not that much overweight. The same goes with anerexia(?) they see a fat person as they starve themselves to death. It is apparent to those about them of their real condition but their mind has been lied to so much they are fooled.
It is a difficult thing to look in the mirror and see our imperfections to the extent we desire to change them. Lord help me to change what is in the mirror and NOT to change the mirror.

The Law of Libery is something I have never really been able to grasp. It seems like a contradiction in terms. Law is designed to govern and liberty is freedom. How can there be a way of governing freedom?
