Reflecting on Women
Er, … men aren’t an exception. We too spend a huge chunk of our limited time here on earth worrying about, not only what “others” think of us, but how we look too.
In his book, Lewis Mumford, mentions how the invention of glass led to the invention of the mirror. An invention that in turn bred self-consciousness.
That then, I’d like to add, has given birth to industries which profit from their promise to make 43 year-old women look 34. Not forgetting those who pay their bills by cheering up those depressed by the prevalence of wrinkles on their beloved faces.
(Being/looking young is a stage. Sadly, most of us can’t let go of the poor phase.)
